People have enjoyed the company of animals since the beginning of time. Their intrigue, power, gracefulness and disposition always humble mankind and make life very exciting!
Our “living-art” displays enhance the animals’ beauty and grace while providing a safe and dignified manner of exhibiting them. This interactive experience provides an entertaining yet educational environment. Professional animal handlers insure both the guest’s safety and the animal’s safety while they personally answer all questions stimulating awareness.
Our animals have been habituated and acclimated to events and their surroundings to ensure that they are happy and comfortable. Animals are nomadic by nature utilizing them for events helps stimulate mental stimulation and enrichment.
By utilizing animals at your event you’re assisting us in creating a sustainable environment for them as the proper care of animals is very expensive.
