Tsavo and Martin Lacey Jr.

Tsavo was first trained in 1977 by Charles Knie, whom we have looked at in the past. Mr. Knie, now residing in the Land Down Under was the former owner of the Charles Knie Circus, before it took an odd "twist" to the left. I think Tsavo must hold a record for having the most handlers of any animal alive today, amoung them the talented Sandro Montez now presenting exotics and elephants on Arlette Gruss.
