An integral part of Washington
County's Wild Side, this museum offers mounts from across
the United States, Africa and eastern North Carolina. Many
are in interactive settings that offer hands-on experiences
for learning.
Discover more about three of eastern North Carolina's
predators —the red wolf, the coyote and the fox. See a 500
lb. bear from nearby Hyde County as well as pronghorn
antelope and mule deer from the Rocky Mountain west. Learn
about Alaskan wildlife and get a close look at moose,
record-book sheep, and caribou. African species are here,
too!
At the Touch Table, your
fingers can explore the subtle differences between hides of
beaver, otter and muskrat and the not-so-subtle differences
between black bear and rabbit while you discover interesting
facts about these and many more animals.
How much do you know about
God's creations? Take the quiz and test your knowledge. What
large female mammal has antlers? What is the only animal in
the world than annually sheds its horns? You might be
surprised!
Go on an African Odyssey in
another of the museum's exciting galleries. See a variety of
African antelope species, from large to small. Discover the
"Big Five" most dangerous African animals! Learn about
snakes and hear hair-raising stories.
