# Reptile Encounters

> Melbourne's leading mobile wildlife education company, connecting Australians to nature through hands-on reptile and wildlife experiences across Victoria for over 19 years.

Reptile Encounters was founded by conservationist Josh Cox (BMSc) with the mission of bridging the growing disconnect between people and the natural world. The company operates as a mobile zoo, bringing native Australian animals directly to schools, workplaces, homes, and community venues. Based in Burwood, VIC, the team of Wildlife Ambassadors delivers curriculum-aligned programs and memorable live animal encounters to audiences of all ages and abilities.
