Description

Wildlife parks have been a unique experience for people to interact with native species that have become domesticated. People could feed and pet the animals, and the animals became very used to humans. Today, the Maine Wildlife Park in Gray and York's Wild Kingdom in York offer this experience. In most cases, it took training for these wild animals to become used to humans with training at these facilities.
