Ringling Bros. elephants perform last show
(CNN)After years of giant tricks and synchronized dances, the elephants at Ringling Bros. performed their final act Sunday.
The elephants' last show was in Providence, RI,nearly two years before the pachyderms' expected retirement.
Feld Entertainment, which owns Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus, had said its touring elephants would head to a Florida conservation center by 2018.
The animals are going to the facility a bit earlier.
During Sunday's show, the elephants paraded into the stage as they had for years, linked to each other trunk-to-tail. For the last show, the stars spun, frolicked, stood on their hind legs and posed in a headstand. At one point, they even faked a nap, only to rise when the audience yelled "Wake up, elephants!"
Then the parade of elephants sauntered off the stage in the exact way they had arrived, in a slow, synchronized march holding the tail of the elephant in front of them as their last show was streamed live on Facebook...
