Wild World of Animals

Presenting Sponsor: Jeffery-Mohr Family Dentistry

TIX $15-39

Wild World of Animals has three decades of experience working with and caring for wild animals!

Located in the heart of Southwestern Pennsylvania, Grant Kemmerer specializes in educational and entertaining wildlife shows. He cares for over 200 animals including: big cats, wolves, other large carnivores, primates, birds of prey, parrots, non-venomous snakes, crocodiles and various reptiles, small mammals and amphibians. Grant and his team travel the entire country educating and sharing their passion for animals. Now they are coming to Van Wert and bringing their exotic animals direct to YOU!

Grant Kemmerer has been working with, training and caring for wildlife for over 30 years. Since childhood, he has always been fascinated with animals of every kind. Graduating from Florida International University, he started working professionally with animals in Miami, FL. He holds many state permits as well as federal permits from US Fish and Wildlife, US Department of the Interior and the US Department of Agriculture. He has been a guest animal expert on nationally televised shows such as Anderson Cooper, CBS Early Show, Fox and Friends, Martha Stewart, and the Meredith Vieira Show.

A goal of the show is to convey the importance of ALL animals, the jobs they perform in nature, adaptations, some of the misconceptions surrounding certain species, that wild animals ARE NOT pets, contrary to TV and movies animals are not out to ‘get’ you and the biggest problems facing wildlife today. The animals are trained ambassadors that will put on a show to educate and excite the animal lover in everyone!
