Alaskan Wildlife

You never know what we might see out on the road. We will almost always see moose, we often see caribou, and occasionally bears.
We are occasionally asked, "Will I be eaten by a bear?"   The answer is, "No, you will not be eaten by a bear."   Bears don't like people, so they keep away.  While we occasionally glimpse a bear, we rarely get a chance to get a camera out before it disappears into the woods. We often see foxes, rabbits, and porcupines.  Very rarely we see lynx.  There are no snakes or reptiles in Alaska.	Here is video of a moose we  encountered while canoeing.  We were all surprised when it decided to swim across the lake!   Click to view  >>>
