Wildlife

The variety of habitats in Acadia National Park—from the ocean's edge to granite mountaintops, with ponds and forests between—creates a home for many different animals. Some live on remote islands off the coast and are rarely seen by visitors. Be sure to check out the Nature & Science section for more information about wildlife.

Did You Know?
