The wildlife museum features
a
wide variety of animals, habitats,
and activities. The animals range
in size from a 6 inch
long Least
Weasel to an 11 foot tall standing
Polar Bear! Each display has
a
hand-painted background and
depicts the animal's natural
habitat and normal activities.
Some displays
also have the
sounds of the animal; hear the midnight howling of a pack of Wolves
and the
gobbling of the Wild Turkey. Have you ever seen a Bobcat and Coyote
fighting over an injured Grouse, or seen a baby Moose? Well, you will see
these scenes and many more as you take the
self-guided tour through this cave-
like museum. There are also activity
sheets and scavenger hunts designed for
various ages to enhance the educational
experience.
Also, inside the
museum you will find:
Over 60 Wildlife Displays (including Moose,
Elk, Wolves, Owls,
Whitetail Deer, Cougar, Black Bear, Alaskan Brown Bear,
Coyotes,
Bobcat, Lynx and many other North American animals)
