Notes
Original Toronto Star caption: Loch Ontario Monster? Nope, only Del-Rita. Elephants like water, but Del-Rita is absolutely mad about bathing. There she is happily paddling off Ontario Place, where she's one of the stars of one-ring Puck's Canadian Travelling Circus. She's taken for her swim every morning. She's the only elephant I've ever seen actually swimming, said circus spokesman. She goes way in over her head. It's hard to get her out. Del-Rita, 7-year-old female, likes to go under, too, using her trunk as snorkel. That's the Haida in background.
