About:
Take a wild journey from the comfort of your seat, to meet and learn about some of the most amazing animals on this planet. This is the Gold Standard by which all live animal stage shows should be assessed.
Reptiles, birds and mammals, some familiar and some you will probably never have seen before! It is entertaining and educational for all ages, fast paced and fun. With over 30 years of experience, your host Grant Kemmerer will lead the way.
Wild World of Animals is an exploration into the fascinating world of the wildlife we share with the planet; featuring live animals including some of the most majestic, interesting, bizarre, and critically endangered species in the world.
The fantastic animal lineup encompassing arthropods, amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals are the real rock stars of Wild World of Animals. Grant Kemmerer brings about 16 guests to each show ranging from leopard, monkey, wolf, and badger to the critically endangered red ruffed lemur. Included may also be some of the largest of their species such as the eagle owl, marine toad, and dictator scorpions; as well as a legless lizard, cobra, alligator, and a 100 year old alligator snapping turtle.
Wild World of Animals is an entertaining and educational show in an intimate setting, presenting animals born in captivity displaying natural behaviors, facilitated by an extremely knowledgeable moderator and guide. These animals are not pets, they still have their natural instincts, but they have no fear of humans, and so, unlike their counterparts in nature, can interact more safely with them. During the program, Kemmerer stresses the importance of animals doing their jobs to keep nature working, and educates the audience to the loss of usable habitat leading to endangered species.
Grant has performed live animal programs in 37 states for countless people, trained animals for movies and television, and is a guest lecturer for one of the leading eco-tourism companies in the world, often traveling to the Amazon and Galapágos Islands. He has accompanied researchers into the Pantanal in Brazil, and actively raised funds for conservation programs related to jaguars in the Pantanal. Kemmerer currently works with and cares for over 200 animals, is a licensed master falconer, and holds numerous state and federal permits, including permits for endangered and critically endangered species.
