About Us
The Creature Teacher
We plan perfection. With over 25 years of experience, The Creature Teacher has established itself as the premier provider of animal education services in the State of Texas. Currently, with locations in Dallas, Houston, and East Texas, The Creature Teacher continues to expand its reach in order to better serve communities throughout Texas.
Our Beginnings
In 2004, The Creature Teacher® was born out of a vision to bring interactive animal education to schools, libraries, and communities. Starting as a small team with a handful of animals, we sought to inspire curiosity and foster a love for nature in audiences of all ages. By combining hands-on experiences with meaningful conservation lessons, we quickly became a favorite among educators and families alike, marking the first milestones in the history of wildlife education.
Growing Through Education
Innovation and New Programs
To keep up with the ever-changing needs of our audiences, we’ve developed innovative programs like STEM Camps, drone technology education, and specialized conservation presentations featuring animals like Dezzi the sloth. These offerings ensure that our programs are as dynamic and diverse as the wildlife we showcase, marking significant wildlife education milestones in our journey.
Our Mission
Through the years, our mission has stayed the same: to inspire learning and nurture an appreciation for conservation and wildlife. Whether it’s through a child’s first encounter with a kangaroo or a student learning about ecosystems, we strive to create unforgettable moments that leave lasting impressions.
More Than Just a Mobile Petting Zoo

The Creature Teacher® is more than just a mobile petting zoo; we are a hub of wildlife education, conservation awareness, and hands-on learning experiences. From school presentations to corporate events, we bring the wonders of the animal kingdom to your community, making every program both educational and extraordinary.
