A Tense Confrontation

This particular diorama is a dramatic one, full of tension, as two wolves confront an adult bison. Other bison are painted into the background. This sort of confrontation is, by and large, best walked away from by the wolves, who have a better chance with older or sick bison than a healthy adult.


A moose dominates the next diorama.


This one features pronghorns of the western plains.


A series of skulls, some original and some bronzed casts, are found here.

    1. I have seen a couple of moose when I have been in Newfoundland.... huge creatures. You don't want to encounter one in the middle of the road at night!

  5. I certainly would not like to be face to face with that huge powerful bison.
