ANIMALS IN ALASKA

Here's highlights of some of the animals we saw while in Alaska,
as well as some links to web sites that will teach you more about them


 
BEAR

These dots are the only bears we saw on the trip.  They were along this beach as we journeyed into Glacier Bay.  We did enjoy watching the "bear cam" on TV that showed the bears live at Katmai while they were fishing.

MOOSE

We saw this moose near Exit Glacier.  We also saw 5 moose along or crossing the road as we traveled back to Anchorage.

SEA OTTER

In College Fjord we saw dozens of sea otters floating in the water below the boat.  Our closest view was of Grandpa in Halibut Cove.

ORCA WHALES

We did see quite a few orca (killer) whales from the cruise boast.  But we got our closest views in Kenai Fjords. 

 

HUMPBACK WHALES

We saw humpbacks both on the cruise boat and in Kenai Fjords.  Here is the tail of one that was eating fish along the shore while we were in Kenai Fjords.

STARFISH

In Kenai Fjord we saw lots of purple and orange starfish along the rocks that had been revealed by low tide.
