Adding further life and animation to the already scenic wonderland of Alaska is the abundance of wildlife that exists here.
There's seemingly no end to the wildlife species found in Alaska, each with their own specific regions of habitat suited to their daily needs and abilities.
From a grizzly bear sow with her cute bear cubs foraging in Denali National Park, the iconic caribou grazing in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, or the numerous small mammals which are also vital links in the chain of life in this diverse land.
That's not to mention the symbol of America - the majestic Bald Eagle, a bird of prey found along the coasts of Alaska, its offshore islands, as well as around lakes and rivers. Further north the Golden Eagle dominates the skies of Alaska preying on an array of small mammals and other birds.
Here you will find one of the best selections of Alaska Wildlife Photos ranging from Wolves to Bears, and from Ducks to Eagles. There is no place like Alaska to see so many beautiful wildlife species. Enjoy our selection of wildlife photos.
