On the Way Back from Kantishna

After flying out to Kantishna in about 45 minutes, it took just over five hours to get back by bus. Here are some pictures of what we saw on the way back. We saw a bear and a couple caribou but they were too far to get good pictures.





A red fox with a squirrel in it's mouth. It was just walking along the side of the road and could have cared less that this bus full of people was right beside it.

The fox again.

Very hard to see but this is a young bull moose, first one I have seen. There was a female in the bushes, they  may have been brother/sister.
To give you an idea of the relative size of the animals, the first is the grizzly bear, comes up to about my waist. The second is the Dall Sheep. The third is the moose whose back is at least as tall as me.

Behind the moose is the Wolf, and last is the Caribou. These are the five large animals found in the Park.
