[@anneshields2010]

[@Elvisfan2026]

I feel so bad for jumbo he was so cute I love thinking about how wonderful that people still remember this wonderful big baby

ashley griffith except he wasn’t a baby, nor did he behave like one. Without his beloved handler’s constant presence, Jumbo became extremely ornery and violent

[@cryforthemoon]

It actually makes me ill that they skinned him and hauled his bones around to make more money. He deserved a burial.

lets not forget Jumbo started up a size name jumbo eggs jumbo drinks jumbo shrimp etc

[@pamelastuper1734]

It appears that Jumbo was the last of the giants and they need to get rid of him before people caught on!
