Wildlife abounds in Maine

30,000 miles of rivers and streams course through the glaciated landscape of Maine. These abundant waterways are the region’s arteries of life, home to thousands of species ranging from the tiniest micro-organisms to large mammals.

Some of the more prevalent and well-known Maine species are listed below.
