Searching for the Moose of Maine

"I love the state of Maine. I love the climate, even in the winter. It reminds me a little of my home in West Virginia except for our hot summers. The similarities in the scenery may be why I love to visit Maine, and why one day I would love to retire to Maine with my husband and boys.
My family and I have been traveling to Maine for vacations for over 8 years now. Maine is a beautiful state with many chances all over the state to see wildlife in their natural habitat. We spend most of our time at Moosehead Lake. It's a beautiful, large lake in northern Maine, and the name would indicate that there are indeed many moose to be seen. However, in all of my years visiting, my family and I have not seen one moose"......more of her story

I'm not sure we have a wild animal but the state bird is a cardinal
I have never been to Maine but I certainly would love to visit if only to see a moose. :)
I know in California our state bird is the California Quail and the flower is the California Poppy however I'm not sure about an animal. I would think it is the Grizzly Bear because he is on our flag but I'll have to do some research.
Hubby and I think they just changed the state bird of IL from the cardinal to the mosquito. Does that count? LOL
The IL state mammal is the white-tailed deer and the state insect, the monarch butterfly. Thanks to EnchantedLearning.com for this info.
The moose is a beautiful animal. Our national bird is the Monkey Eating Eagle.
