Jumbo the Elephant, Fiberglass sculpture in St. Thomas, Canada
Created by Winston Bronnum, the elephant statue stands 12 feet tall and stretches 16 feet long, depicting the famous circus performer in detail.
The monument marks the location where the real Jumbo, a star of Barnum & Bailey Circus, met his end in a train collision in 1885.
The sculpture, installed in 1985, represents the connection between St. Thomas and circus entertainment during the 19th century transportation era.
Visitors can access the monument throughout the year, with informational plaques providing details about Jumbo's life and significance to the region.
The word 'jumbo' entered the English language as a term for large objects due to this elephant's influence on popular culture.
