Krone proudly presents.... DIAMOND and PRINCESS
With much pride, Circus Krone announces the arrival of two white young lions.

devour 6 kg of meat daily. They were born on an Arabian lion farm. They will be
raised as the companions of KING TONGA and later become part of his harem.

The shimmering white PRINCESS and
her majestic friend DIAMOND have
already developed distinct personality
characteristics. PRINCESS is playful
and curious, whereas DIAMOND
behaves more elegantly. She a regal
highness and a born leader.
Animal trainer Martin Lacey jr. who
raised KING TONGA (a gift from a
Saudi prince) and has already
presented the white lions to the
Krone manege, is pleased with his
new challenge. The two cubs have
still their "baby" teeth and are fed
several times a day.

Cute humorous, and fury, they enjoy the circus and allow
themselves to be pampered with milk and pieces of meat. Amber saucer eyes,
adorned with silky soft fur - these lively, splendid creatures desire to be petted and cared for.
Meat is always welcome ...
with much love. praise and delicious
tidbits of meat, the two lion princesses
are being carefully and gently groomed
to become future stars of Circus Krone
- together with KING TONGA - they will
embark on great careers.
We invite you watch the training and
observe the regime throughout their
learning period and experience the
fascination of the manege up close
and personal .
