A lot of different animals in this act but none indigenous to Mexico.

So for the afro-mexican mix. Schwichtemberg presented many kind of exotics. I remember him with an incredible group of okapis. Yes, o-k-a-p-i-s. If I will found somewhere a picture I took at te time, I'll send you.; 08 August, 2006 05:18

Does Uwe Schwichtemberg still perform? I think he was on Cirque d' Hiver (Netherlands) this past winter 2005 with a group of horses and ponies?

You probably saw his son, I think his name is Silvio, and I heard that he is going to RBBB for some exotics. Who knows if they'll give him some shrinking okapi?; 09 August, 2006 14:46
