Need an animal actor? Then call an Animal Wrangler

July 20th, 2008 · No Comments

When you are producing film, music video’s or photography sometimes you will be called upon to find well trained animals for the shoots. These animals can range from a Tiger, to elephants and leopards, exotic birds, or even insects. To rent one (or a few) of these animals for a day can be very pricey because you will technically be paying for the animal rental fee, the animal wrangler fee, and most likely a delivery charge (thanks to our high gas prices). There are a few great animal wranglers in the Los Angeles area that I have used for productions in the past, but from my personal suggestions I would use A2Z Animals. (www.a2zanimals.com). They have a beautiful tiger (as seen w/ Sienna Miller on the cover of Flaunt Magazine), 2 amazingly well trained elephants (one painted a picture for me), as well as monkeys, dogs, wolves and a rhino! There is also Hollywood Animals which has beautiful leopards and a zebra, and many other companies you can track down off of LA411.com .

Just this past week I was asked to find beautiful white doves for an undisclosed cover shoot w/ Hayden Pannettiere and photo duo Smallz and Raskind. And with only one day notice. Luckily I came across the number of animal trainer Sarah Clifford from Animal Savvy, who was able to provide the perfect doves needed. Check out an image of them below…
