Two zebras - Zebedee and Sinbad - appear alongside llamas, goats, ponies, horses and Samantha the mule.
Petra Jackson of Circus Mondao said her animals are treated well: 'The false accusation that we're cruel is like saying somebody is a paedophile when they're not.
'Our animals do exactly the same things as horses in galas, or dogs at Crufts, but because we are under the banner of 'circus', we get criticised.
'Riding schools are terrible for making horses work seven-hour days. Ours have five minutes work a night. They have a brilliant life.
'Our animals do country shows, galas and TV shows but their treatment is only ever questioned when they're with the circus.
'You have to see things with your own eyes and we give kids the opportunity to see animals they wouldn't otherwise be able to.'
The circus runs until Sunday.
