If you are going to Anchorage...

may we recommend that you take the 50 mile trip north of the city,
along the water's edge of the Turnagain Arm of the Cook Inlet,
and visit this place:


It'll cost you about $ 15 per person or 30+ per car full,
but you'll get to see all the animals you came to Alaska to see.

Sure they'll be behind a fence,
but their fields are huge.

Put your camera between the  metal fence, and you'll have your neighbors back home convinced that
you were face to face with Alaskan wildlife!

Check these out:



As close as those pictures we took n Kodiak!
In fact, they even made a TV documentary about Alaskan wildlife...and they filmed the whole thing here, instead of in the wild!
Fortunately they made them take it off the air!




Yes, you can get some real beauties!

These are all animals which have been injured in the wild and can't fend for themselves. So they are in rehab.
This is where they took some of the  baby Kodiak bears who lost their mom.  One, unfortunately, escaped with a friend and was hit by a car.  The other one eventually made it to a zoo in New York, I think.

Anyway. Be sure to stop here and see real Alaskan animal close up,

like this Musk Ox, whose fur is about the warmest thing there is!
And you probably will not see one anywhere else, except Alaska
(or perhaps the northern parts of Russia and Scandinavia)

Anyway, we repeatedly enjoy this stop as we drove through this area.

(PS Incidentally, the pics on our other blogs are real, not form the wildlife center)
