Day 7.187: Maine Wildlife Park

On our way back home on Sunday, we visited the Maine Wildlife Park. The animals there are almost all native to Maine and mostly rescued animals who could not live in the wild. It's a great opportunity to see these animals - some of which we've seen in the wild - up-close.

How many can you identify? (answers below).

Great Horned Owl, Racoon (white), Fisher, Porcupine, Canadian Lynx, Coyote, Canadian Lynx (and its tongue), Black Bear, Moose, Painted Turtle.

We actually had a debate about the turtle, but - given the colouring on the face - I'm pretty sure it's a painted turtle even though its shell looks strange.

It was a fun visit and made Exile #4 especially happy because she had been there on a school trip and was very pleased to be able to show the rest of us around.
