Just after 5 a.m., residents of Baraboo\u2019s southeast side woke up to find a very confused elephant (whose name is Kelly) wandering through their otherwise elephant-free neighborhood. This continued for almost an hour before Baraboo police were able to contact Kelly\u2019s handlers from her home at the Circus World Museum.<\/p>\n<p>Kelly was initially spotted by Jaime Lynn, a local woman who caught the elephant in the heinous act of enjoying an early meal of trees and plants.<\/p>\n<p><center><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"border: none; overflow: hidden;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/plugins\/post.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fjaime.peterson.127%2Fposts%2F10154933264716225&amp;width=500\" width=\"500\" height=\"626\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/center>\u201cShe was just having some breakfast, I guess,\u201d <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wiscnews.com\/baraboonewsrepublic\/news\/local\/article_38307e5a-5387-5e14-aa6f-6188cb333f9f.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Lynn told <em>Baraboo News Republic<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>According to Scott O\u2019Donnell, the executive director of the Circus World Museum, Kelly is no lone wolf.
