From the performer who wrestles crocodiles to the circus that has lions riding horses, you won't believe these insane circus stunts! Subscribe to Talltanic http://goo.gl/wgfvrr 6. Tightrope Wedding We might have heard about a shotgun wedding before, but what about a tight rope wedding? How would you expect two circus workers to get married? People seem to have stranger and stranger weddings nowadays. Mustafa and Anna both tied the knot in July 2016 in Houston Texas. The couple are both high wire walkers for the Ringling Brothers and the act was performed in front of close friends and family members. Who’d wanna go to work on their wedding day! During the grand entrance, Mustafa rode on the back of a camel while his bride entered on top of a black horse.Here in this photo you can see how high up they were when they both said i do! It was actually quite the spectacle and their co-workers made sure it was something they’ll remember til death do them part. 5. Lion Riding Horses So you thought maybe only in a parallel universe would you actually see a lion riding horse! Wrong, or sort of… This actually does happen in China where animals can be trained to do just about anything the Chinese want them to do. This shocking pictures are not photoshopped and come the animal park at Xiamen in Southeastern China, in one of the nation’s most notorious zoos. Places like this really end up giving circuses a bad name. The horse is kept running around a cage to amuse an audience while it’s being whipped by the zoomaster. It’s not only lions that you’ll see on the back of a horse but also tigers like we see here. 4. Bear Accessories Everyone meet Masha. She’s an 11 year old Russian girl from Moscow who’d like to join the circus and needs a job to pay for some clothes. It turns out Masha is one of the best gymnasts in all of Russia and with that fancy umbrella, she’s probably got more style then you do, so don’t hate! Masha is extremely well trained actually participates in tightrope walking. Her trainer, Mikhail, is getting her ready by fitting her with the proper shoes to perform this stunt. She’s been preparing for a moment in the spotlight for quite some time now and an act such as this hasn’t been performed in Russia in over 20 years. 3. Russian Hockey Team The Russian National Hockey team is looking a little more fierce than usual and we better watch out in the next olympics! Ok but seriously, either this is a guy in the best bear suit ever or that’s actually a bear playing hockey! This photos came out in 2009 of what appears to be a brown bear who’s capable of figure skating and swinging a hockey puck. During intermissions of hockey matches, the bear will even come out and perform handstands like you see here. The bears wear secure muzzles which keep their mouth closed and from ripping the trainers limb by limb. Bear on ice shows have been known to get deadly, which happened during one incident in country of Kyrgyzstan, a former Soviet state located northwest of China. Attempting to domesticate wild animals like bears and lions is basically not possible. No matter how tame they might look at one moment. They can snap within minutes. So if you’re thinking about being a circus trainer, watch out! 2. Blanc De Blanc This circus act located in Australia is one of a kind especially if you’re into balloons and ridiculous contortionists. Here in this photo, we see the circus performer, Jaimi Luhrmann, cover her lower body with a giant balloon. Jamie is actually a professional mime who was chosen for her quirky personality and her minimal usage of props. She’s finally graduated from circus school after 10 hard years of studying and Blanc de Blanc will certainly be one of a kind thanks to her. The circus cast includes many notable international super stars include this Russian aerial artists named Masha Terntieva. She’s also an expert contortionists as you can tell from this photo. The group has already travelled to Canada, Russia, France and Toyko to perform in their first year and their future certainly seems to be bright! 1. Cirque Du Soleil The performance for cirque du soleil's 50th anniversary was downright extravagant and it took place at London’s Royal Albert Hall. This unbelievable circus show was dedicated completely to women, here you see a creepy looking guy standing on top of a bowl, while a woman in the black dress, stands over the body of a victim holds on to flaming torches. It’s based loosely on William Shakespeare’s play called the Tempest, which many claim to be the last play shakespeare wrote on his own. Here in this photo, we see extremely acrobatic performers, dressed up in elaborate outfits that are only possible from spectacles such as the cirque du soleil.
