Contacto Animal at Quinta Mazatlán
Meet animals up close and learn more about them on July 21 for a bilingual demonstration by Contacto Animal at Quinta Mazatlán. Find out why all animals are important, including scorpions, tarantulas, toads, lizards, snakes and more. Presentation begins at 7:30 p.m. in the park.
Alejandro Millan, director of Contacto Animal, will talk about the unique traits and natural abilities of the animals. Alejandro was born in Mexico City, and 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.
Thursday Night LIVE takes place through Aug. 18. Sponsors are South Texas Health System Children’s and Freels Orthodontics.
Park admission is $3 per person which includes the program; children ages 2 under are free.
