BERLIN (Reuters) - A traveling circus in Germany has been ordered to
come back and clean up a pile of elephant dung after residents
complained about the smell, police said Friday.

"We got a call and checked out the site and realized that the turds
were far too big to come from horses. It had to be elephants," said
police spokesman Wolfgang Heimann.

The circus left the site on the outskirts of the western city of
Wuppertal four weeks ago and the dung had been ripening in the sun.
"The stench was terrible," Heimann said.

"We've found the circus and they're sending someone to take it away.
They've got quite a job on their hands."
