Alaskan wildlife

Arctic region animals

Alaskan wildlife refers to the animals native to Alaska, encompassing species adapted to arctic, subarctic, and coastal environments.

The phrase evokes iconic creatures like grizzly bears, moose, caribou, wolves, bald eagles, and salmon.

We spent a week photographing Alaskan wildlife in Denali.

The term often implies wilderness untouched by development.
