To help generate much needed income to allow us to continue with the important work we do, many of our animals have taken up acting. Staff of the Muskoka Wildlife Centre have been providing their animal coordinating/advising and handling services to the film industry for more than eighteen years. We pride ourselves on our integrity and professional conduct and have established ourselves as an industry leader within the film community. Because our animals are handled daily and are exposed to many varied environments, while participating in our live animal out-reach programs, they are well socialized, travel well and genuinely enjoy the change of scenery that comes with working on sets all over North America. We currently maintain the largest collection of native animal species in Ontario and with a vast network of professional contacts (second to none), we can provide almost any creature from anteater to zebra and everything in between. Though the list of productions we have been involved with is much to vast to list on this site, here are a few examples of our work you may have seen recently: A FEW RECENT EXAMPLES Television Series We were the head coordinators/advisers and animal handlers for these series, bringing to set over 450 species and 700 individual animals.
