Tantilla LLC is a multidisciplinary professional entity founded by Michael Dorcas, Ph.D., a biologist and ecologist with extensive experience in academic research, scientific publishing, and professional consulting. The company integrates scientific consulting and wildlife art within a single, coherent framework.

The company serves as the parent organization for two complementary divisions: Tantilla Consulting and Tantilla Art. Together, these divisions reflect decades of experience in biological research, higher education, scholarly publishing, and creative work grounded in close observation of the natural world.

Tantilla LLC was established to provide a stable and credible professional presence that supports scholarly, applied, and creative endeavors. While consulting and artistic work are conducted through distinct platforms, both are informed by the same foundation of scientific rigor, precision, and long-term engagement with biodiversity.
