Kevin Davis
I am a husband, father, and a seasoned educator in the field of animal behavior. My commitment to family and my dedication to the welfare of animals have been unwavering throughout my career.
I earned my Doctorate from UC Davis in 1988, and my dissertation focused on Sugar Gliders. Some segments of my research continue to serve as valuable guidelines for Sugar Glider care, particularly within certain zoological institutions.
With over three decades of experience as a practicing zoologist, my current role involves supervising operations at multiple animal habitats while collaborating with collectors in the Las Vegas area. My life's priority revolves around promoting responsible and compassionate animal care, as well as dispelling misconceptions about animals.
I have had the privilege of working alongside renowned zoologists, including a visit to Steve Irwin's ranch in 1988, where I provided education on sugar gliders to his staff. In 2010, I had the opportunity to update the mammal department at the San Diego Zoo on animal behavior in captive environments.
Beyond my professional endeavors, I am an avid collector of various animals, including Sugar gliders, raccoons, foxes, lemurs, and several monkeys. I have also engaged in the collection of black bears and African herps.
My extensive background and commitment to animal welfare drive my ongoing efforts to educate others and contribute to the field of animal behavior and conservation.
