Day at the Anchorage Zoo

As part of Jaycie's Birthday festivities, we took a trip to the zoo. It wasn't as large or extensive as Hogle Zoo, but had some cool animals that you can't find at Hogle Zoo. Jaycie absolutley loved the wolves. There was a pack of about 6 wolves and the enclosure was huge. They were really close to the fence from us, so we got a close look. It was neat to see the pack work together. They all napped together, horsed around together and looked at the crowd together (all wolves did the same things as the others). Jaycie kicked and sqealed when we saw the wolves up close. I think she has a favorite animal now.

My favorite was the huge bull moose as well as the caribou. They also had two baby moose that were very cute. Shannon's favorite was the baby musk ox, black bears and the porcupines. I attached some pictures of these animals.

So, overall the zoo was great and Jaycie got to have a special trip to the zoo for her birthday. On the way out we bought her a wolf stuffed animal.
