Lecture - Phillip 'Wildman Phil' Rakoci Wildlife Adventure

Join us for an exciting live animal demonstration featuring some of the world’s most notable creatures. Wildlife comedian “Wildman Phil” highlights the unique characteristics of various wildlife, their homes, and the ways the lives of these vastly different animals are interwoven, creating a community where each has a purpose and a place. This highly entertaining, yet informative, presentation combines hands-on demonstrations with lessons featuring: respect for wildlife and the environment;
animal defenses and their roles; ways to identify dangerous creatures and harmless animals; separation of fact and fiction in the world of spiders, scorpions, lizards, snakes and other such creatures; life cycles and the web of life. An Arizona native, Phil has a passion and exuberance for all things prickly, pointy, venomous, and desiccated. His forays into wild places are frequent and legendary. So as not to be far away from the creepy crawlers, Phil’s home and land is a living laboratory and Phil takes “his pets” on the road across the Western United States to entertain and educate audiences of all ages.

Location: Outdoor Amphitheater.
