The wonders of Alaskan wildlife 

Above all else, many holidaymakers dream of seeing some of Alaska's amazing wildlife. The range and magic of the state’s wildlife are matched only by the diversity of landscapes.

Perhaps you will be fortunate to spot the so-called Alaskan Big 5: Bear, moose, Dall sheep, wolf and caribou on land. Other species include lynx and wolves, which even the locals rarely see.

There are also numerous magical marine mammals that inhabit Alaska’s waters, such as humpback whales, orcas, grey whales, sea lions and seals. And don’t forget to look upwards to maybe see a bald eagle. Did you know Alaska has the world’s largest population of bald eagles?
