Alaska Day 52 Wildlife Conservation Ctr

Today was go and see the saved animals at the Alaska Conservation Center in the Portage Glacier area.  But first here is the back drop for our campground…and yours?

And then on the way we got to get our first photograph of a Bald Eagle….

With the tour saver coupon book it was only $12.50 total for both of us.  Buy one get one free.

Wow so many stories about the animals and how they ended up here.  Too many to tell all….This guy is about two years old and was found in a backyard as a baby with no mama.  He is sucking the worker’s finger.

Don’t he look like a Bullwinkle…

Elk herd…  If you click on this picture and look close,  you can see me taking the picture in the eye.

 

Young moose with each its own story.

Musk Ox

We weren’t sure if he was alive…

then he scratched….

This one was asleep too!

Their are prairie bison and wood bison.  Most people are use to seeing the common prairie bison.  These are wood bison which are bigger and heavier.  They have several herds (100s) here and will be releasing them in 2015.  How cool.

This place is a place we go see every year when we are up here.

See ya……
