The statue was commissioned by the city of St. Thomas, Ontario to mark the 100th anniversary of the death of Jumbo, a circus elephant that was killed in the community after being struck by a train.[1][2][3] The city funded the $70,000 sculpture in part with the sale of Indiana Jones-style hats and commemorative coins.[2] The statue was constructed at Bronnum's Animaland Park in Sussex, New Brunswick and transported 1,722 kilometres to St. Thomas.[5] For ease of transport the upper legs and body were poured separately from the base and lower legs.[4] The statue weights 38 tonnes[3] and the base weighs 100 tonnes.[4] References1. ^{{cite book|last1=MacDonald|first1=Cheryl|title=Celebrated pets endearing tales of companionship and loyalty|date=2009|publisher=Heritage House|location=Surrey, BC|isbn=1926936159|edition=1st Heritage House ed. 2009.}} {{Ontario-stub}}2. ^1 {{cite news|last1=Bjarnason|first1=Dan|title=The National|url=http://www.cbc.ca/archives/categories/lifestyle/travel/supersized-sights-of-canada/st-thomas-jumbo-the-elephant.html|accessdate=3 July 2014|agency=Canadian Broadcasting Corporation|date=15 January 1985}} 3. ^1 {{cite web|title=Jumbo The Elephant Monument|url=http://www.ontariossouthwest.com/experience/jumbo-the-elephant-monument,317|website=Ontario's Southwest|accessdate=3 July 2014}} 4. ^1 2 {{cite web|title=St. Thomas' Jumbo the Elephant|url=http://www.cbc.ca/archives/categories/lifestyle/travel/supersized-sights-of-canada/st-thomas-jumbo-the-elephant.html|website=CBC Archives|accessdate=3 July 2014}} 7 : 1985 sculptures|Elephants in art|Steel sculptures in Canada|Roadside attractions in Canada|Buildings and structures in St. Thomas, Ontario|Outdoor sculptures in Canada|Animal sculptures in Canada |
