Alaska Day 2/Afternoon

After the boys fished in the morning we headed over to the

one place that Austin REALLY could not stop talking about.

The wildlife conservation center!

this is a refuge for Animals that have been inured

or whatever else has brought them to this new (sometimes temporary) home

First we say these Brown bear cubs

they are 17 months old and

their mothers were killed

they are not siblings but have grown up to be

brother and sister

they are being hand fed but the trainers are very careful to

not treat them like pets.

they have rarely (maybe only a couple times)

been touched

In the Pen next to the cubs was this black bear...

he was a hoot

while everyone was looking at the feeding demonstration

of the cubs, he was showing off like no other!

 next was this Caribou

 great horned owl

 Moose

 an adult brown bear

 look at those claws

 wood Buffalo

 Elk....and a yellow jacket lol

 after we let there we drove toward Steward and stopped a lake to try fishing again

we saw a sea plane doing touch and go's

that was pretty cool

and this last picture is just for Austin's friend Dan....
