Jarod Miller

Jarod is a young naturalist, zoologist, pet expert and regular guest lecturer for zoos and universities. He's even lectured on captive management and wildlife conservation at the White House! At 25, he was also the youngest accredited zoo director in the United States.

Since he was 10, Jarod has worked to alert the world to endangered animal species. He has raised, studied and handled a tremendous variety of wildlife including large cats, bears, prosimians (such as lemurs and bush babies), large and small primates, birds of prey, crocodiles and their related species, venomous snakes and reptiles, and large hoofed animals, among others. In fact, there doesn't seem to be a type of animal that Jarod hasn't studied! When he was a child, zoos were always his favorite destinations, and he could identify every animal that lived in the zoo. And when he was in second grade and asked to write down his favorite animal for an assignment, he came up with a 3 page list of nearly 200 species. Now that's someone who really, really loves animals!
