Jana Mandana Lacey-Krone the "Junior-Chief" of Europe´s Largest Circus. She is also an amazingly beautiful "Animal-Trainer".



Jana Mandana works with many different Animals in the Circus Ring. Her beautiful, gentel smile does fit perfectly to her presentation of shy zebra´s or horse´s.



Jana Mandana´s spectrum of Animal Training is gigantic. The full range everybody will notice if you are able to see the show of Circus Krone. She works with Elephants, Camel´s, Horses`s, Zebra´s and Pony´s.



Beside all this she will be the follower of Christel Sembach-Krone. The head of the Circus Krone. Circus Krone, based in Munich, is the largest circus in Europe and the only one in Western Europe to also occupy a building.



It was originally founded in 1905 by Carl Krone (1870-1943) as an animal exhibition. Later the circus was run by his daughter Frieda Sembach-Krone and her husband Carl Sembach-Krone. Since 1995 their daughter Christabel Sembach has run the circus. Since 1919, the circus has also owned the Circus Krone Building in Munich.

Professional eaten by a lion ;)

Alexander Lacey´s trick...We guess he calls it "head-trick"

We call it Professional eaten by a lion.

As the audience this trick will leave you breathless.

Questions like why?how? will run threw your head, but in the end
you will find no answer.

Anyhow it is incredible unrealistic, if somebody says this animal training could be
based on any violence.

Alexander Lacey would have no chance at all.

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.

KING TONGA

The WHITE LION

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

It is a gift from mother nature.

copyright:www.circus-krone.de

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.

copyright:www.circus-krone.de

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.

copyright:www.circus-krone.de

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.
