Shubenacadie Provincial Wildlife Park

Shubenacadie, or simply "Shube," 35km south of Truro off Hwy 2, is best known for this wildlife park. It's the place to commune with Nova Scotia's native fauna: moose, porcupines, timber wolves, lynx, bobcats, cougars, black bears and bald eagles. Contained within large enclosures, the animals were mostly born in captivity, but a few have been rescued from private ownership as "pets" and thus cannot be released into the wild.
