The 11 Most Beautiful Wild Animals In Virginia

Northern Cardinal

Virginia is for lovers…of animals! This wild yet homely part of New England hosts a wide variety of native species, from the iconic American black bear to the reclusive and endangered Virginia big-eared bat. Some claim a contiguous territory, while others have settled in niche, fractured habitats. But regardless of whether they’re found in the forested slopes of the Appalachian Mountains or the coastal regions of the Atlantic Ocean, members of the Old Dominion State must be prepared for four full seasons (or be able to migrate elsewhere when needed). Let us look at some of the amazing features these creatures have evolved in order to help them navigate the challenges and opportunities of the Northeastern United States, with a particular focus on aesthetic standouts. These are 11 of the most beautiful wild animals in the state of Virginia.
