Chewonki Traveling History

This exciting and interactive program introduces attendees to our native warm-blooded vertebrates: Maine mammals. Participants can examine a mounted animal and observe its characteristics, such as teeth, feet, and fur. We use these observations as clues to understanding each mammal’s adaptations, niche, and habitat.

A collection of skulls, student skins, and other specimens complements a discussion of adaptations and the role each animal plays in the food web. This program also features a living example of a non-releasable wild mammal!
