Our Animals - Exotic Animals - LlamasLlama-OffspringMama Shanaia gently nudges her small daughter. The small llama-girl is the new star of Circus Krone. Animal trainer Pietro Bento is confident: the small llama will be a four-legged world star. Until then she spends her time with Mama Shanaia and her aunts Bella and Naomi in a warm stall. 
Although in the Circus Krone some 250 Animals are at home, the birth was a small sensation, because the last four-legged offspring was born nearly 10 years ago: In 1993, four tiger babies were born.  Elvis and Snowy, the two youngest of the Circus Krone llama offsprings. It is not at all easy with the youngsters. The horses are all stallions and the elephants are all ladies. Within the camel population, ladies and gentlemen are equally represented. Nevertheless, one waits in vain for successors. Thus, the hope rests on the llamas. The parents of the small one, Shanaia and Paco, are only two years old, which even for llamas, who live for 20 years, is an early age to become parents. This indicates that additional offsprings could be on the way in a relatively short time. A kiss for the exotic animal director, Pietro Bento.  The young stallion has not yet assumed his fatherly duties completely. Therefore, mother and daughter are alone in the stable. Only the two aunts, Bella and Naomi may visit in the stall.  At the earliest, at the age of 6 months the small artists begin their training for their entrance into the big top. The training lasts between 2 to 4 years before they are ready for their debut. return to the top of the page |
