Retired circus elephant seen mourning and trying to comfort her partner of over 25 years after she had collapsed and passed away.
Jenny and Magda were performing partners in Russia for over 25 years.
When Jenny passed away this week, Magda refused to let veterinarians near her for several hours as she hugged the elephant.
"In the first minutes after the tragedy, she lightly pushed her friend and tried to lift her, and then began to hug her," news outlet Baza reported.
"Magda said goodbye to Jenny for several hours and did not allow veterinarians near her."
So sad.
