Alaska Wildlife Viewing - Alaska Caribou
Over 1 million Caribou inhabit Alaska, making approximately 32 herds. They are the only member of the deer family in which both sexes grow antlers. Males range from 350-400lbs and females range from 175-225lbs. They have wide concave hooves that support the animal in the snow and also act as a paddle for swimming. Caribou are known to travel as far as 3,000 miles in a year back and forth to various eating grounds. This is further than any other land mammal. Denali National Park is very popular for viewing most Alaska wildlife including Caribou.
