Wildlife & Zoological Operations

Chris brings ethics, animal knowledge, finesse, and public education together in a way that fits the Citadel's mission. He is a great role model for the next generation because he shows that you can make wildlife content engaging without being reckless, sensational, or careless with the animals. His work is built on real understanding: behavior, timing, facility standards, field experience, crocodilian handling, and respect for what these animals are capable of. That balance matters for the future of public wildlife education.

Chris Gillette is Senior Advisor and a member of the faculty at Citadel Culebra, the online school of reptile-keeping, and is associated with Wildlife & Zoological Operations.
