Nova Scotia's Shubenacadie Provincial Wildlife Park


Shubenacadie Wildlife Park is about a 45 minute drive outside of Halifax, in the village of Shubenacadie. The 40 hectares of land designated as the Wildlife Park is home to 29 different mammal species - including wolves, foxes, skunks, beavers and porcupines and many more - and 35 bird species. The bird species include geese, waterfowl, pheasants, peacocks to name a few. The wildlife park gets it's animals from zoological facilities around North America and a few animals have been obtained from the public, who attempted to keep wild animals as pets. The goal of the park is to care for orphaned, abandoned and sick animals with the intention of eventually releasing them back into the wild in situations permitting.
