Abstract
A vehicular animal identification paddle apparatus is comprised of a display member, a stem and a display member holder. The display member holder is comprised of a window clip , a horizontal extension member and a socket. The attachment means attaches the horizontal extension member and the socket to a vehicle window. The display member exhibits an animal identifier comprised of a silhouette of an animal and the printed name of that animal. The stem is attached at one end to the display member and at the other end secured to the socket. An animal of interest within a wildlife area is identified and exhibited to occupants of other vehicles by placing a coinciding display member within the apparatus and attaching it to a user's vehicle. This minimizes traffic congestion within the wildlife area and identifies the animal to those interested.
