wildlife grizzly bears

Started early today to catch the tour. Woke up at 5 and still didn’t make the sunrise.

We saw a 2 moose, 4 Grizzley bears, countless caribou, and 5 sheep. Saw several using binoculars so I couldn’t get them on pics, but the grizzlies were posing for us.

Things I learned today :

Grizzlies usually maintain 300 square miles for their own food and eat 320,ooo berries a day. Denali bears are vegetarian for the most part because there are very few fish in glacial streams.
Denali moose are twice the size of a continental moose. 1700+ pounds and typically lose 400 pounds over winter.
Dall sheep were studied in the making of football helmets because they have a soft membrane between their brain and their skull. Their impact can reach a total combined impact of 140 mph. The studies led to the invention of gel padding in helmets used today.
Adolf Murie studied wolves in the park for 40 years and basically saved the wolves from extinction.
Dog sleds are still used in the park to maintain a park presence during the winter months. You can adopt these sled dogs.
The second largest (9.2 richter scale) earthquake in the world was in Alaska in 1964. The landmass grew up to 82 feet.
Don’t get buried in Alaska because the permafrost will push you back out of the ground. Get cremated. Duh.
