'Doppler' Dilbert - close-up
“Doppler” Dilbert is one of Lake Metroparks’ Animal Ambassadors that help teach the public about the effects that habitat loss and environmental changes have on native Ohio wildlife species.
The mission of Lake Metroparks’ Wildlife Center is to reduce human impact on native Ohio wildlife through education and rehabilitation. Each year, nearly 2,000 injured or orphaned animals receive first aid and rehabilitation at the Wildlife Center. Patients include backyard wildlife, such as rabbits and songbirds, and endangered species such as the peregrine falcon and bald eagle. Many eventually resume their life in the wild.
