Ringling Bros. Circus Elephants Brunch In Boston

BOSTON (CBS) -- Circus elephants paraded through the streets of Boston Wednesday, and even found time for brunch.

The Asian Elephants are part of the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey circus, which runs through Sunday at the TD Garden.

The elephants played the harmonica, caught a football and chowed down on Hanover Street.

Circus elephants won't be seen in Boston much longer. Ringling Bros. announced earlier this year that it would be phasing out elephant performances by 2018 amid growing concern about how the animals are treated.
