It was inevitable that we would encounter wildlife on this trip. So, it’s time to share some of my photos.

I’m starting with the moose. And this is because we saw a moose literally the first day of the holiday…. It was in the car park of our hotel! Happily munching away at a tree. The taxi driver was hesitant about getting too close as they are known to be temperamental beasts, who can turn and charge at a moment’s notice. So, the following photo was taken from the comfort of the van.

And there was our visit to the Wildlife Conservation Centre, where we encountered a number of animals, not just moose.

What about this handsome specimen?!…

Then there were the musk oxen. And, as I suspected when I did my research, they are a lot smaller than you think. That’s probably why they put the sign up!

Below was the view from the bear mountain enclosure. Not bad to wake up to after a long sleep?!

A couple of other wildlife sightings:

An Arctic fox strolling along the train line

And a solitary otter which we encountered on our cruise on the Prince William Sound.
