Manitoba is well known for its ‘cuddly’ polar bears, hypnotic Great Gray Owls and writhing masses of mating Garter Snakes. But it also home to dragon hunters, pseudo scorpions and other assorted creepy creatures. From three species of arrow worms to over 25,000 arthropods, Manitoba has it all. Come dressed up as your favourite Manitoba wildlife species and meet some of our 38,000+ strange and curious wild species. Prizes for the best costumes will be awarded.
