Center for Wildlife Presents Nocturnal Mammals!

Just in time for Halloween!  Come learn all about Nocturnal Mammals!

Join us for a wonderful introduction to Maine’s creatures of the night. How does a bat find thousands of tiny mosquitoes in the dark? Why would an opossum choose to lumber around at night? Wild animals continue their hard work, even as we sleep. Using live animals and hands-on materials we will answer these questions and find out how nocturnal mammals utilize all of their senses to find food and shelter at night. Our beautiful live non-releasable animal ambassadors will also demonstrate some unique adaptations these animals have to be observed up close.

Vivian, the center's Opossum Ambassador, will be making a special appearance in addition to other nocturnal mammals! 

Open to all ages. 

Please Note: Participants age 9 and under must be accompanied by an adult or responsible caregiver at least age 14 or older.
