Moose and bears live in the Anchorage bowl and surrounding mountains. They are powerful,
wild animals, and should NEVER be approached. To see them safely, visit the Alaska
Zoo in Anchorage or the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center in Portage. That said,
wildlife watching is a favorite Alaskan activity, and besides the large mammals,
the region is home to all kinds of birds and smaller critters. Keep your eyes open
and have your camera ready!
