| Southwest
Alaska is home for a vast array of wildlife. From open tundra to
mountainous glacial lakes, the Lake Clark area offers a variety
of habitats for large and small mammals, fish, and birds.
Large
runs of Sockeye Salmon and the herd of Barren Ground Caribou provide
the base for this complex ecosystem.
Grizzly
and Brown bears travel throughout our part of Alaska feeding on
the calorie-rich fish as they move upstream to their spawning area.
The bears count on the fish to provide the much needed fat to survive
hibernation through a long cold winter. As the countless Salmon
travel inland, packing into the small streams to spawn, the bears
gather to feed and interact.
The
Mulchatna herd of Barren Ground caribou migrate over the tundra,
feeding on moss and lichen. The nomadic journey of the caribou covers
hundreds of miles every year. Caribou travel in groups ranging from
2 to 20,000 animals, grouping together and separating as they migrate.
Many local predators such as Gray Wolves, Grizzly and Black Bears,
Coyotes, and Wolverines follow the migration to feed on the caribou.
