Otters, foxes and porcupines, oh my! Get up close to wild animals at the @highdesertmuseum! 🦦 Watch resident river otters Brook, Pitch and Wesley as they scamper on land, use their slide or go for a swim at the Autzen Otter Exhibit. 🦅 Every afternoon during the Bird of Prey Encounter, wildlife staff will introduce you to one of the birds in the museum’s care and shed light on their way of life in the High Desert. 🦊 Meet Gert the sprightly gray fox. She came to live at the Museum in 2020 and has become quite the superstar! Fun Fact: the sprightly canid fox is the only species in the Canidae family that can climb trees with her strong, hooked claws.  🐢 Visit the Desertarium, for the opportunity to view native wildlife up close including turtles, tortoises, snakes, lizards, frogs, fish, and more!
