Welcome to the Wonderful World of Matt's Wild Animal Kingdom!

Thank you for visiting -- I am Matt Lange, your tour guide -- welcome to my Petting Zoo!

I've always loved animals and have always felt that they have so much to teach us.  Come with me and learn what the animals have to share with us!  (And remember:  here in the Matt Lange Petting Zoo, you can look AND touch!)

	Even at an early age, I felt a certain kind of bond and attachment to animals.  Here, as a child, I was so happy when my parents took me to my very first petting zoo in Cassville!  This is a picture of me, at the tender age of 4, petting a goat for the first time.  As you can see in our faces, we felt a connection with each other right away...
...and here I am again, on the same excursion, getting to know a friendly little pony.  It was one of the happiest times of my life!
	Here at the Matt Lange Petting Zoo, I oversee everything myself.  I believe in a very "hands-on" approach to everything we do here.  Come along and join me in a fun-filled Petting Zoo adventure!
