Further along we saw a Wood Bison herd and a couple of moose, then two young black bears who had been rescued as cubs.

Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center - July 15, 2010
When we got a call from the Griffins about 1:30 PM, they were at this Center and asked us to meet all of them there. This wildlife exhibit is at the point where the Sterling Highway turns from east to west at the end of Turnagain Arm. This branch of Cook Inlet was named by William Bligh, later captain of the Bounty. In the several acre site of the center were many different species of native animals. The mission of the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center is rehabilition and restocking the native wildlife of Alaska. Injured animals are brought here and if possible, returned to the wild when they're healthy. Others are having herds built up for stocking areas of Alaska where they once lived but have been depleted over many years. Here are Elk and Muskoxen.

ReplyDeleteYes it is awesome to get around and see the Alaska sights. And, yes, we drove from Canandaigua, with Ernie and Kay Griffin. They have the Fifth-wheel RV and pick-up truck and we drove Donna's Toyota van. It was over 5,000 miles. plus side trips along the way that added another thousand or so.
