MAINE WILDLIFE Whether you are a Maine Native, or here just for a visit, you are more than likely aware that Maine has a wide variety of wildlife throughout the state. Here in the Pine Tree state, we are notorious for our wildlife, with over 55 species of wild mammals living among us - not including the fisheries or domestic mammals. Maine's unique geographic location allows it to house a wide variety of animals. It has one of the highest moose and black bear populations throughout the " lower 48 " states. Factor in the whitetailed deer population, and you have some of the top desired viewing and hunting mammals all in one place. The mammals can either gravitate towards a slightly colder climate towards Northern Maine, or to a slightly warmer climate towards Southern Maine. Maine also boasts an abundance of sea-life and is a well-known fishing destination! The Department of Inland Fisheries & Wildlife strives to enhance, preserve, and protect, the sea-life while also maintaining diverse and sustainable fishery for all to enjoy.
