Alexander Lacey

In the circus ring Alexander Lacey personifies the perfect gentleman.

With deep harmony to his big-cats, he let even the difficult tricks look easily.

The animal training of him is based on deep trust and (of course) no violence.

The deep trust you can feel if you are watching his show.

Particular the "tiger-walk" does show the balance of power.

The WHITE LION

One of the most impressing creature´s on this earth.

It is a gift from mother nature.

The white lion is not a distinct subspecies,

but a special morph with a genetic condition,

leucism,that causes paler colouration akin to

that of the white tiger; the condition is similar

to melanism, which causes black panthers.

They are not albinos, having normal pigmentation

in the eyes and skin. White Transvaal lion

(Panthera leo krugeri) individuals occasionally

have been encountered in and around

Kruger National Park and the adjacent

Timbavati Private Game Reserve in eastern

South Africa, but are more commonly found in captivity,

where breeders deliberately select them.

The unusual cream color of their coats is due to

a recessive gene. Reportedly, they have been

bred in camps in South Africa for use as trophies

to be killed during canned hunts.
