There was a remarkable zoological break through this weekend, that many of you might not be aware of on the "history channel." After great discussion about dilutes, genes, and color phases last year, we gave feline lover extraordinaire Mary Ann Howell the option of choosing the official circus no spin name for the lion pictured above, from an extensive list of dilute color phases. She choose Champagne, and it became a Champagne lion. But an even better, more appropriate name was suggested on the "history channel," and the name is now officially changed from that of Champagne lion to Cremei lion. It is a name changed somewhat from Creamiline, by dropping the last "i", and adding an "o", and making it two words instead of one. As there is no specific scientific name for this lion, it will be officially recorded and listed as Cremei lion(Panthera john milton goodini) so as not to be confused with Panthera leo.
For any folks who have often wondered how the latin name is decided on for an animal, recorded below is the process:

Blackie Diller was sent out west by Terrel-Adkins and bough 24 "Yellow" horse to be trained for three liberty acts for the new Cole Bros. Circus. Merrit Belue and John Smith, among others immediately went to work in the Ri9ng Barn, but it seems they hired Cristiansen with his "creamiline" liberty act as well. We do know that these were the nucleus of the Co0le famed 16 horse hitchj/ johnny

Due respect, what is a "creamiline" horse?
Wade Burck
A cremiline is a palomino. Jorgen's were among the first brought over supposedly. My Dad toured a summer with Jorgen doing fair dates with them.

Bob,
Do you mean a cremello? There is no horse breed or color known as "creamline?" Horse's that have the cream gene in addition to a base coat color that is chestnut will become palomino if they are heterozygous, having one copy of the cream gene, or cremello, if they are homozygous.
Or were you meaning a Criollo(which is what I believe Jorgen had)which is the native horse of Argentina, Uruguay, Brazil and Paraguay. The most popular color of a Criolla is a line-backed dun, but it also comes in bay, brown, black, chestnut, grullo, buckskin, palomino, blue or strawberry roan, gray and overo colors.

Mr. Cristiansen goy alot of PR mileage, even to this day by you Wade. He knew to give the color a name and hence Creamoline and Criolla. So it was not ju8st a liberty act but a fabukous breed that he purchased from horse jockeys in Indiana. He laughed all the way to the bank. But believe me the routine was "par excellence".

Wade, the yellow or palominos he chose to call Creamoline and he later bhad eight buckskins he called Criolla. I doubt that reg. papers were posted on the stalls. I had a big white good looking half assed high school horse that I called a Lippizan and our blck mare we said was Morgan. I all sounds good and that is what tis showbiz is all about with respect to his eminence "Baron Julius Von Uhl".tanglefoot Ringling Herriott
Wade, who said he raced these ngrade Indiaa horses. They were liberty and Menage horses in the circus. His best creamoline [if you choose o call him that, was a nice well built stallion that did excellent Hih School and Jorgen named him "GOLDEN SUNBURST". I always liked that name just like "STARLESS NIGHT" and "AMERICAN ANTHEM". Johnny
Wade Cole Bros. initially in 34 35 wintered in Rochester, Ind. and from there the owners sent Blackie Diller to go out west and buy 24 horses for this new circus. Now Mr. Cristiansen had a home in Indiana ansd when he decided to get his own liberty act he bought some horses in the color he desired. I was not aware that these names of reed were factual and to be frank believe the Creamoline was just a nice sounding "made up" name. As for Criolla I feel the same about that, however you seem to be the "authority" on the subject and will leave it at that. Johnny
Tanglefoot,
"His best creamoline [if you choose o call him that," When did I choose to call him that? You choose to call him that. I just "fixed" it so we had a name that was better then "piss yellow" for the Panthera john milton goodini lion.
"I all sounds good and that is what tis showbiz is all about with respect to his eminence "Baron Julius Von Uhl"" Man, you are going to give folks the real wrong impression of this circus deal, Johnny. They often times come to blows, in defending their "facts". Besides, why are you ripping on the Baron, Col?
