At The Creature Teacher®, our journey began with a passion for wildlife and a commitment to education. Founded with the belief that every moment can be a teachable moment, our organization has grown from humble beginnings into a trusted provider of wildlife education programs across 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

Over the years, our commitment to education has remained at the heart of everything we do. With a team of experienced educators and a growing roster of unique animals, The Creature Teacher® expanded its reach to include school programs, library events, daycare programs, and more. Our focus on aligning with the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) curriculum has made us a go-to resource for teachers seeking engaging, impactful lessons that complement classroom learning. This dedication represents the continued evolution of The Creature Teacher as a leader in wildlife 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

While our beginnings were rooted in interactive animal encounters, we’ve grown into so much more. 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.

At The Creature Teacher®, we are more than just a mobile petting zoo—we are on a mission to create meaningful connections with the natural world. Through our unique wildlife programs, we go beyond animal encounters to inspire curiosity, promote conservation, and deepen understanding in every interaction.
