Why Animals in Film Matter
Animals have long been an integral part of cinema, bringing warmth, humor, authenticity, and sometimes even star power to the screen. Around the world, entire companies specialize in training and providing animals for productions. Identical Media has collaborated with internationally renowned animal wranglers and has built a growing registry of trusted trainers and professional animals for casting in Mauritius.
Exotic Animals in Mauritius
Through scouting and partnerships, we have access to a surprising variety of exotic and well-trained animals on the island. Examples include:
- Parrots such as Lucky, a stunning blue and yellow Macaw trained for flight, responsive after just 7 days of wrangler training
- Zebras and dwarf horses
- Ponies and stallions
- Goats and other farm animals
These animals are supervised by professional wranglers, ensuring safety and efficiency on set.
Dogs & Cats for Casting
Domestic pets are among the most commonly requested animals for commercials, films, and photoshoots. Our registry includes a wide selection of trained breeds:
- Dogs: Golden Retrievers, Cavalier King Charles, Chihuahuas, Huskies, Pugs, German Shepherds, Pitbulls, Rottweilers, Dobermans, Bulldogs, Dachshunds, and more
