Day 9
Anchorage, Alaska.
We visited the Zoo on a drizzly morning well before any crowds turned up (assuming there would actually be crowds). We were keen to see a polar bear up close, since we had seen so many other types of bears as we travelled but this is the only view he would give is…
There were plenty of other Alaskan animals to see…
A young Muskox
The mother Muskox
A Red Fox. So cute.
A Dall Sheep. These guys can really climb. We saw them in the wild up the sides of extremely steep cliffs that even Hillary couldn't climb.
Otters.
A wolverine. Vicious little buggers.
When we got to the grizzly bears we wondered why the bears were anxiously peering out of the cage at nothing. 5-10 minutes later a keeper turned up from that direction with their dinner. They must have a good sense of time.
