Wildlife Animals
Wildlife in Alaska is as diverse as it gets! In a state as large and as geographically different from one end to the other, it´s not surprising to find everything from huge moose to tiny Sitka deer.
Alaska Caribou 
The nomadic caribou is well-adapted to life in the harsh Arctic climate. About one million of them live in Alaska, divided into over 30 separate herds. Hares in Alaska
When I was teaching kindergarten in Kobuk, my students would come into the classroom in the morning and say, “Teacher, we saw lots of rabbits by our house.” I would typically respond, “Really? Are you sure? I don’t think there are any rabbits in Alaska. . . you probably saw a hare!” Musk Ox Arctic Wildlife
Musk Oxen in Alaska have hardly changed since the Ice Age. Brought back from near extinction, Musk Ox are found across Alaska in the wild, on breeding farms and wildlife parks where tourists can view these remarkable animals up close. Be sure to visit the famous "Musk Ox Farm" in Palmer, Alaska! Palmer Alaska Musk Ox Farm [offsite link]

They also have a museum and gift shop - all at the base of spectacular Pioneer Peak in the scenic Matanuska-Susitna valley less than an hours´ drive from Anchorage!

The moose is a favorite animal of Alaskan residents and visitors alike. Here you´ll find lots of information about this large mammal. The Short-tailed Weasel, Alaska´s little predator
You are more likely to see a moose or a bear than a short-tailed weasel or ermine when you visit Alaska. But these little predators are just as engaging to observe if you are lucky enough to spot one. Links marked with the [offsite link] designation point to websites not associated with BellaOnline.com.
