MarineLand - Part II

Today I an sharing some of the other magnificent and well cared for animals we saw in 
MarineLand
This park is enormous and we only spent a couple of hours here.

If you missed Part I, you can view that here.

The Deer are beautiful and maintain their spots for the entire first year of life.









We were able to feed the Brown Bears...
and trust me when I say they are very good at catching food.






Buffalo


and Elk

Canada was having "their" Summer on this 20th day of September,
and it was about 90 degrees fahrenheit in the shade, (32 degrees celsius, we are in Canada you know)
there is a funny story connected to that, I will share another time!
We enjoyed our time here but had several other adventures planned for the day.
More from Canada tomorrow!

Hello, Debbie, you know I love all the animals. This would be a fabulous post for my critter party. I love the deer, bears, buffalo and the elk! Fabulous photos. Happy Thursday, enjoy your day and weekend ahead.

The deer are just gorgeous, I didn't know that about that antlers, do you think they get so many questions about it that they just put up a sign :) Oh my that was a HOT day wasn't it, I think we all have been having those above normal temps here lately. I think my favorite pic was of the bears just sitting back waiting to be fed, too fun!

Ohhhhh those antlers!!! Aren't they magnificent?

It's a good thing, they post that, about the shedding of the velvet!!!! :-) But I bet, there are people, who don't read it, and who are looking for a park person, to "complain," about the poor animals. -grin-

Oh my! You went north, and got their return summer! :-)

Finally it is beginning to cool down up here. I'm sure you are too. Wheeeew!!! A blogger said, that some weather system, from Jose, kept our coolness from coming to us. And my husband has been watching a front, so I agree.

Sally said...

Wow - the first pic I thought was a cow! :)

I hope you were far and away from the bears. Y'all had such a wonderful excursion, and I'm glad you shared with us, Debbie. xoxo

Pam said...

Oh you are making me want to grab my camera and go to the zoo.....I started with my professional camera in 2008 and have yet to take out to someplace like that. Great pics.

Gorgeous pictures of these beautiful wild animals -- interesting to see the deer with spots and antlers both -- I think the ones we see out here in the West lose those spots sooner.

The deer and buffalo looking a bit shaggy this time of year, and the brown bears getting fat for their hibernation.
]Some people feel sorry for these "caged" in animals, but they have plenty of room to wander and a good diet. You put them back in the wild, they'd probably die with a years time.

Ruth Hiebert said...

The animals all look so very healthy. That's encouraging.

Christine said...

Super to see the deer and those antlers but my favourites are the bears!

Jill said...

I've never seen such a variety of deer like that. Beautiful! I love the three bears sitting up. Made me think of see no evil, hear no evil and speak no evil! Great shots, Debbie!

Adam said...

Makes sense for it to be made of real bone

Glad you enjoyed your visit!

BeachGypsy said...

you got great photos! I love the "dots" on the deer! And that one picture of them all laying down together---that is a sea of antlers!! The big bears---oh my!!---I am so scared of BEARS, I don't think I could even get that close, LOL I have worked with animals much much much much larger than bears....but never felt threatened but put me near a BEAR and Im outta there! ha ha ha LOL

Our summer, which lasted for about two weeks in September, ended yesterday. The drop in temperature was quite prodigious.

Unknown said...

Beautiful photographs of these magnificent creatures, Debbie.
I always wonder how they hold their heads up with hose huge antlers!!
Just beautiful.
xo.

What a fun visit.

Jenn Jilks said...

It's so sad seeing them confined. I love seeing Junior Bear on the trailcam, even when he messed with it!

LeAnn said...

This looks up close and personal. I loved all those animals photos. Thanks for sharing the information on the antlers. You did get some awesome shots. I loved the bears ones and so surprized you could feed them.Hugs for this one!

Cathy H. said...

Those bears make me laugh! The look like they're just sitting back waiting for the food to be thrown!

21 Wits said...

Goodness gracious what a bunch of fun photos! Critters galore and they are just having a blast!

Brian King said...

Wow, that's a lot of antlers! Very impressive! Beautiful critters!
