The giant elephant's name spawned the common word "jumbo", meaning large in size.[3] Examples of his lexical impact are phrases like "jumbo jet", "jumbo shrimp," and "jumbotron." Jumbo's shoulder height has been estimated to have been 3.23 metres (10 ft 7 in) at the time of his death,[2] and was claimed to be about 4 m (13 ft 1 in) by Barnum.
Jumbo was born around December 25, 1860, in Sudan,[1] and after his mother was killed by poachers, the infant Jumbo was captured by Sudanese elephant poacher Taher Sheriff and German big-game poacher Johann Schmidt.[1] The calf was sold to Lorenzo Casanova, an Italian animal dealer and explorer. Casanova transported the animals that he had bought from Sudan north to Suez, and then across the Mediterranean Sea to Trieste.
This collection was sold to Gottlieb Christian Kreutzberg's "Menagerie Kreutzberg" in Germany.[4] Soon after, the elephant was imported to France and kept in the Paris zoo Jardin des Plantes. In 1865, he was transferred to the London Zoo and arrived on 26 June.[5] In the following years, Jumbo became a crowd favorite due to his size, and would give rides to children on his back, including those of Queen Victoria.
While in London, Jumbo broke both tusks, and when they regrew, he ground them down against the stonework of his enclosure.[5] His keeper in London was Matthew Scott, whose 1885 autobiography details his life with Jumbo.[5]
In 1882, Abraham Bartlett, superintendent of the London zoo, sparked national controversy with his decision to sell Jumbo to the American entertainer Phineas T. Barnum of the Barnum & Bailey Circus for 2,000 (US$10,000).[4] This decision came as a result of concern surrounding Jumbo's growing aggression and potential to cause a public disaster. The sale of Jumbo, however, sent the citizens of London into a panic, because they viewed the transaction as an enormous loss for the British empire. 100,000 school children wrote to Queen Victoria begging her not to sell the elephant.[a]
John Ruskin, a fellow of the Zoological Society, wrote in The Morning Post in February 1882: "I, for one of the said fellows, am not in the habit of selling my old pets or parting with my old servants because I find them subject occasionally, perhaps even "periodically," to fits of ill temper; and I not only "regret" the proceedings of the council, but disclaim them utterly, as disgraceful to the city of London and dishonourable to common humanity."[6] Despite a lawsuit against the Zoological Gardens alleging the sale was in violation of multiple zoo bylaws, and the zoo's attempt to renege on the sale, the court upheld the sale.[4] Matthew Scott elected to go with Jumbo to the United States.[5] The London-based newspaper The Daily Telegraph begged Barnum to lay down terms on which he would return Jumbo; however, no such terms existed in the eyes of Barnum.
In New York, Barnum exhibited Jumbo at Madison Square Garden, earning enough in three weeks from the enormous crowds to recoup the money he spent to buy the animal.[4][7] In the 31-week season, the circus earned $1.75M, largely due to its star attraction.[4] On May 17, 1884, Jumbo was one of Barnum's 21 elephants that crossed the Brooklyn Bridge to demonstrate that it was safe, a year after 15 people died during a stampede precipitated by fear that the bridge might collapse.[8] On July 6, 1885, Jumbo was paraded in Saint John, New Brunswick, celebrating his first appearance in Canada.[9]
Jumbo died at a railway classification yard in St. Thomas, Ontario, Canada, on September 15, 1885. In those days the circus crisscrossed North America by train. St. Thomas was the perfect location for a circus because many rail lines converged there. Jumbo and the other animals had finished their performances that night, and as they were being led to their box car, a train came down the track. Jumbo was hit and mortally wounded, dying within minutes.[11][12][13]
Barnum told the (possibly fictional) story that Tom Thumb, a young circus elephant, was walking on the railroad tracks and Jumbo was attempting to lead him to safety. Barnum claimed that the locomotive hit and killed Tom Thumb before it derailed and hit Jumbo, and other witnesses supported Barnum's account. According to newspapers, the freight train hit Jumbo directly, killing him, while Tom Thumb suffered a broken leg.[14][15]
Ever the showman, Barnum had portions of his star attraction separated, to have multiple sites attracting curious spectators. After touring with Barnum's circus,[17] the skeleton was donated to the American Museum of Natural History in New York City, where it remains.[18][19] The elephant's heart was sold to Burt Green Wilder of Cornell University, and had been lost by the 1940s.[20] Jumbo's hide was stuffed by William J. Critchley and Carl Akeley, both of Ward's Natural Science, who stretched it during the mounting process; the mounted specimen traveled with Barnum's circus for two years.[17]
Barnum eventually donated the stuffed Jumbo to Tufts University, where it was displayed at P.T. Barnum Hall there for many years. The hide was destroyed in a fire in April 1975.[18] Ashes from that fire, which are believed to contain the elephant's remains, are kept in a 14-ounce Peter Pan Crunchy Peanut Butter jar in the office of the Tufts athletic director, while his taxidermied tail, removed during earlier renovations, resides in the holdings of the Tufts Digital Collections and Archives.[13] Jumbo is the Tufts University mascot.[21]
While Jumbo's hide resided at Tufts' P.T. Barnum Hall, a superstition held that dropping a coin into a nostril of the trunk would bring good luck on an examination or sports event.[21] Although the hide was destroyed by a major fire,[18] Jumbo remains the mascot of Tufts, and representations of the elephant are featured prominently throughout the campus.[21]
A life-sized statue of the elephant was erected in 1985 in St. Thomas, Ontario, to commemorate the centennial of the elephant's death. It is located on Talbot Street on the west side of the city. In 2006 the Jumbo statue was inducted into the North America Railway Hall of Fame in the category of "Railway Art Forms & Events" as having local significance.[22]St. Thomas's Railway City Brewery sells an IPA beer named Dead Elephant.
Lucy the Elephant, a six-story structure in Margate City, New Jersey, was modeled after Jumbo.[24] Built by James V. Lafferty in 1881, Lucy is the oldest surviving roadside tourist attraction in America and a National Historic Landmark. Lafferty also made other Jumbo-shaped structures, including Elephantine Colossus, on Coney Island.[25]
The 1941 animated film Dumbo released by Walt Disney Animation Studios was inspired by the story of Jumbo and is regarded as one of the greatest animated films of all time. Despite the film being fictional, many people have speculated that Jumbo might have been the title character's father.[29]
A television program about Jumbo, Attenborough and the Giant Elephant, presented by the naturalist and broadcaster David Attenborough, was transmitted on BBC One in the United Kingdom on 10 December 2017.[5] An international team of scientists examined the skeleton and found:

Nothing crazy - we have a 6200 that needs a jumbo installed. We don't have an HA-pair, so this is a standalone 6200, so there will obviously be some downtime involved. I'm just trying to figure out how long I should expect services to be down so I can best prepare. Are we talking a few seconds, few minutes, longer?
I think @Magnus-Holmberg gave the worst case scenario : - ). 30 mins sounds a bit too long in my personal opinion. I helped people with single gateways before and longest I had seen was 15 mins downtime, but that was older model appliance. If you have decent IPS link pipe and 6200 model (even base one), I really would not expect more than 10 mins or so. But, as Magnus said, box does cpstop when installing the hotfix, so that is prior to reboot. Once box is rebooted, make sure policy is correct by running fw stat from expert mode.
Hope for the best and prepare for the worst.
If i would request for a service window, i would request for 30min downtime.
As this is a location/site that clearly accepted to have a single firewall that should be no issue what so ever.
If the location/site expect seconds or
Clearly you need to do this in a maintenance window, and of course snapshot, as Magnus is also correct on, allow for worse case scenario, you need to restore the snapshot, this can take between 30 - 45mins as an estimate.
Of course something else that is good it have is a LOM card or out of band access.
Takes a minute to adjust to the feel but is Perfect after that!
I got all clubs re-gripped at the same time and was concerned at first, but with a couple range sessions it all became natural and I no longer death grip my clubs.
I purchased these because I was struggling with my right hand gripping the club after my hand injury, these are game changers!!!!! I purchased the ultralight xsmall grips I was worried that it would feel alien but after putting on my 7 iron for one range session I went home and installed them all! They are amazing I wear a cadet M/L glove. If you struggle with your grip pressure or after injury SWITCH NOW!
I had heard about the JMX Zen Lite grips and wanted to try them out. I went to the JumboMax website and took their short questionnaire which recommended that I should try the "Small" size grip. Then I went to the local Roger Dunn's shop to see if they had any inventory of that grip. While I was there, one of the employees that was working with me was raving about the JMX Zen Lite grips and how good they were, but when I told him that I wanted the "Small" size he suggested that I try the Extra Small instead stating that it was easier to put "shape" on the ball with the smaller size. He was pretty convincing, so I ordered one grip in "Small" and one grip in "Extra Small" as a trial run. After playing a couple of rounds, I felt that the website recommended size of "Small" was the perfect fit. Went back and had my full bag fitted with the new Zen Lite grips. It was such a difference compared to my old grips in both size and texture that it took a little getting used to, but after only a couple of rounds I found myself hitting the ball not only straighter, but a few yards longer as well. Now when I grab another club that has a "regular" grip, it feels skinny and uncomfortable. I realize that I used to be "gripping" the club with my fingers rather than the feeling of gripping it with my hands. Now when I swing, I only concentrate on the shape of my swing path. These grips have changed the game for me. Bottom line: Trust the website, not some salesman when getting "sized" for the grip you want, the website is dead-on. P.S. You'll be finding that you'll be hitting straighter and longer with these grips...they are amazing
