WILDMAN PHIL will introduce students to their wildlife neighbors, animals that have survived for thousands of years.
These entertaining yet informative live animal shows highlight the unique characteristics of various wildlife, their homes, and the ways the lives of these vastly different animals are interwoven, creating a community where each has a purpose and a place.
WILDMAN PHIL brings to each presentation 10-20 live creatures - including spiders, scorpions, lizards, and snakes - plus a variety of preserved specimens.
Venomous snakes are not used unless requested.
Have Wildman Phil make your next birthday party memorable as he makes your child the star of the show and the talk of the neighborhood!
