Take the opportunity to learn and explore at a live animal show on June 16th at Quinta Mazatlán. The interactive and bilingual demonstration by Contacto Animal USA features all kinds of animals from parrots, lizards, snakes and frogs.

Alejandro Millan, director of Contacto Animal, will talk about the unique traits and natural abilities of the animals. Millan was born in Mexico City; he discovered his love and passions towards animals while working at a theme park. After a couple of years, Millan moved to the city of Monterrey, Nuevo Leon where he graduated with bachelors in biology and started working with animals in various city parks. Eventually, he initiated his own business, and today he is the director and founder of Contacto Animal USA. The show was created to entertain and educate people on different animal species. Contacto Animal USA also provides presentations on topics regarding conservation, management and environmental education.
