Evan Antin

Dr. Evan Antin, originally from Kansas City, Kansas, developed an early interest in wildlife, dedicating his childhood to observing native species such as snakes, turtles, and insects. He pursued higher education in evolutionary and ecological biology at the University of Colorado at Boulder, where he expanded his understanding of ecosystems by spending semesters abroad in Australia and Tanzania. His academic journey culminated in his graduation from Colorado State’s veterinary school in 2013.

Throughout his career, Dr. Antin has focused on exotic animal medicine and wildlife interactions. For over a decade, he has actively sought opportunities to work with wildlife across various global locations, including Central America, Australia, New Zealand, South America, Eastern and Southern Africa, and Southeast Asia. This extensive hands-on experience has equipped him with expertise in the handling, husbandry, and enrichment of diverse animals, ranging from delicate small species to large, potentially dangerous wildlife, in addition to common household pets. Upon completing his veterinary degree, Dr. Antin immediately joined Conejo Valley Veterinary Hospital (CVVH) as an associate. In this role, he has developed clinical medical and surgical skills, providing care for dogs, cats, exotic animals, and wildlife within the Conejo Valley.

Beyond his professional practice, Dr. Antin is the author of “World Wild Vet,” a book that details his work in wildlife conservation and veterinary medicine. He has also been an ambassador for Re:wild, participating in initiatives aimed at connecting individuals with nature and promoting rewilding efforts. His personal interests include traveling, scuba diving, snowboarding, hiking, and weightlifting. He resides near Calabasas, California, with his cat, Willy, a savannah monitor lizard, a mangrove snake, and various tropical freshwater fish, showcasing his continued dedication to animal care and companionship.
