Adirondack Park Nature Magazine

The Wildlife Conservation Society wanted to know more about the moose population of the Adirondacks.  But they didn’t want to disrupt the moose as they studied them.  So, they enlisted the help of specially trained scat sniffing dogs. Julie Larsen Maher, WCS staff photographer, joined them in the Adirondack woods.

In the back rooms of The Wild Center, Squirt the Otter is playing in her large cage.  She comes up to the fence, sniffs at the microphone, then Leah Filo and David Gross decide it’s time for a couple of treats.  Leah gives her a kiwi and explains some of her interesting habits.
