Dr. Evan Antin is an animal expert and exotic animal veterinarian at Conejo Valley Veterinary Hospital in Thousand Oaks, California.

I HIT 10k FOLLOWERS TODAY, THANKS FOR ALL THE SUPPORT! Amazing to see so many animal lovers <3. And how handsome is this beast!? I LOVE PitBulls/staffordshires-they can be the absolute most sweet and loyal and amazing dogs and who can resist those adorable, muscle blockheads!? They have a bad rep sometimes but that's usually due to how they were raised. A good pit with a good home can be the best dog ever! Thanks again for following and enjoy your Tuesday ;) #wildvet #vetmed #pitbull #pitbullsofinstagram #pitvets #staffordshirebullterrier #veterinarian #veterinary #blockhead

Before he went to vet school, Antin was (unsurprisingly) a model and a personal trainer.

MEAL PREP, story of my life, lol. I eat at least 2-3 of these at work a day on top of protein shakes, bars and fruit. This week: fish, peas and white rice ;) #mealprep #mealprepping #samethingeveryday

One of my favorite wildlife interactions- African Porcupine! African porcupines grow up to be far larger than their North American cousins. #africanporcupine #porcupine #quill #wildvet #wildlife #rodent #herbivore #animaltracksinc @animal_tracks_inc

TBT 2011 catching Yacare Caimans in the beautiful Pantanal, Brazil. This place was like the Everglades on crack! TONS of reptiles and wildlife. Scope out my Facebook Brazil photo album if you'd like to see more. And FYI people magazine chose this pic for my SMA appearance in 2014 :) #tbt #pantanal #brazil #caiman #yacare #yacarecaiman #reptile #herp #wildvet #ilovereptiles #ilovebrazil

He’s very active on social media where followers are updated with pictures of the animals he works with daily.

He works with all kinds of creatures, from birds...

#birdofprey #owl #wildvet #vetmed #wildlife #wildlifemedicine #veterinarian #veterinarymedicine #carnivore #predator #educational #nofilter I feel so fortunate to get the opportunity to work with amazing animals like birds of prey! This owl lives a captive life in an educational facility and has helped bring knowledge and awareness to many children :)

...to reptiles...

When I was a young kid, I had an #iguana named Pete. Since then, I've had a total soft spot for them, and this guy is SO BEAUTIFUL it made me miss my old friend!

But he also loves his own pets: Willy the cat and Henry the dog.

Anti went to the University of Colorado as an undergrad and realized he had a love of working with animals.

I think squirrels are super interesting critters! And they're so adaptable! I'm Examining a wildlife squirrel brought in by a Good Samaritan. This IS NOT how I recommend handling wildlife and it is not a good sign that this poor kiddo is so content in my hands. Healthy wildlife patients are aggressive and dangerous as they should be. Please do not attempt to handle Wildife and be very careful even with sick and debilitated individuals. I'm not sure what's wrong with this fella and our overnight Doctor sent him to a wildlife rehabilitator last night. #wildvet #wildlifemedicine #vetmed #squirrels #squirrelmedicine #veterinary #veterinarian

He studied abroad in Tanzania and traveled around in Africa. He also spent a semester in Australia.

#TBT My FAVORITE picture from my time living in #Tanzania #Africa...these were my #Masai homestay brothers, and I lived with them for a month while I studied #wildlife ecology.

He still loves to travel and most recently went to Turkey and the Middle East.

Getting in good w the locals...In fact I must say-I've met and tried to interact w cats all over the globe and for whatever reason these little Turkish cats are so much friendlier than any other street cats anywhere!? #turkey #turkishcats #cat #newfriend

He’ll often post pictures about his travels on Facebook and Instagram, and even has a Vlog on YouTube.

Introducing Pamukkale, Turky aka the "cotton castle." This place is easily one of the nuttiest natural features on the planet. All of these travertines you see around me are calcium based deposits on these hills and mineral rich water runs along them. #pamukkale #turkey #travel #wanderlust #international #middleeast #calcium #calcite #amazballs #travertines #nofilter

His YouTube page also features some of his TV interviews. Antin was even on Kris Jenner’s talk show to discuss the conservation of exotic animals.

 

The 31-year-old is quite the catch, but he is taken. He's been engaged girlfriend Nathalie Basha for five years.

Five years ago today, we got engaged in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico! We met in Mykonos, hung out for the first time in Cannes, got engaged in Mexico, traveled to Tanzania, Israel, Costa Rica, China, Guatemala, Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, France, Turkey....What/where in the world will the next five years look like?? πŸ˜ŽπŸŒπŸ’« #TheFiveYearEngagement #TwoPeasInAPod #Travel #Wanderlust

Still, it’s worth following Antin on social media just to watch him interact with adorable animals.

2015 ULTIMATE PELFIE! What better way to wrap up the year ;) #pelfie #puppy #wildvet #vetmed #puppyvet #ilovepuppies #puppylove
