GRAY (AP) – The Maine Wildlife Park in Gray opened for the season Wednesday, offering the public a chance to view native creatures ranging in size from turtles to a moose.

The Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife says the 200-acre park off Route 26 is home to more than 25 species of wildlife, including white-tailed deer, black bears, coyotes, owls and trophy trout.

Many of the animals live there because they were injured or orphaned, or have become dependent on humans after being raised in captivity.

New this year is a porcupine exhibit, the first of six new settings that will be devoted to small mammals.
