Magical creatures are indeed real, and they have been hiding in plain sight among Muggles for ages. Disguised for their own protection, some of our favorite animals are actually Fantastic Beasts. PJ worked as a muggle zookeeper for fifteen years, ensuring the safety and protection of some of the magical world’s most vulnerable creatures. But now, the wizarding community realizes this isn’t a “non-magical” or “wizard” issue, this is a humanity issue. We need everyone to do their part to protect magical creatures- from the adorable niffler to the majestic phoenix. Discover the wondrous animals hiding within our real world, and learn how our actions can save them.
