Oh and the lynx are beautiful. Ok all of it! I'd definitely love to volunteer somewhere like this if I lived near it. We just took a cruise around Alaska (similar to you I imagine!) and I fell in love with the place.

Yes, it would be very different to run into some of these animals in the wild, especially if you weren't prepared. <br /><br />I'm not sure about whether or not I saw any moose. You know that close-up shot I had of the caribou? When I look back at the map, I took that photo in the moose area - but the antlers don't look like moose antlers, right? Too bad I didn't ask any of the staffers about it at the time!emmers712https://www.blogger.com/profile/15865493476823978890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3081872231855122210.post-39724044984473030882016-11-01T13:45:59.264-05:002016-11-01T13:45:59.264-05:00Thanks Bethany!
