Wild on the Outer Banks
Maritime forests, marsh land and ocean beaches are all inhabited
with plants and animals, some of which you may be surprised to see living on the coast.
Red wolf, black bear and even alligators, in addition to hundreds
of birds, reptiles and mammals and seacreatures call the Outer Banks home.
A trip to the coast of NC offers
many opportunities to view its wildlife. Some of my favorites are dolphin tours in the sounds, the trails at Milltail
Creek and Buffalo City and bird watching on Pea Island.

A sand crab blends in with his surroundings. You might not notice him
unless he moves.
