Since we showed photos of big bald birdies yesterday, today we thought we'd show other kinds of wildlife that Mommy and Daddy saw up in Alaska. They spent most of their vacation on a cruise ship and did see whales, porpoises and lots of sea birds but none sat still long enough for a good photo. She did get a photo of these sea lions. Can you spot two?
After the cruise ended in Seward, AK, they took a three day land tour which included a Tundra Wilderness Tour in Denali National Park & Preserve that promised lots of wildlife to be seen like bears and moose. Yeah, well, there in there somewhere...
The first critter they spotted was an Artic ground squirrel. Kinda looks like the non-artic chipmunks huh?
The snowshoe hare is pretty cute and sure has big floofy feets! Of course in the winter time he'd be all white...
Despite being on the tour for 8 hours, they didn't see one bear or moose. Daddy says they'll just have to go back sometime but we might have something to say about that!
What kind of wildlife do you have in your neck of the woods?
Enjoy your day!
PeeS: All the park photos were taken from a bus since the only way to visit deep inside Denali National Park is via their buses. It kinda made it hard to see the wildlife let alone get good photos of them but she did the best she could. They were allowed to get off in designated areas but of course the only wildlife around those areas were tourists from other buses!

These photos are just breath-taking! I have friends who live in Alaska...the scenery and the wildlife is awesome! Thanks for sharing!
Wow, your humans saw lots of critter! BTW, I've sent you an email - make sure your human opens it!
That park looks so pretty even if you did have to see most of it from a bus. That view with the mountains in the background is breathtaking.
The Artic ground squirrel looks like a prairie dog? And yes we did spot both sea lions after we made Mommy biggify the picture. :)
Your Mommy and Daddy sure had a lovely time at Alaska!
What a great time your peeps had! We love seeing all the wildlife because we don't have any of those here. We got regular squirrels and regular bunnies. And sometimes vishus deers.
WE think you did a great job getting pictures. It was fun seeing the sheep and all of the others. That must have been such a fun trip.
I know my youngest son was just as enthralled when he went. Beautiful memories you have shown us. I never get tired of looking at them. MOARE!
Ah, tourists - love the photos and the pretty bunny...
Mom says the photos are great. Even though she loves all the animals, her favorite photo was the one of the mountains. Have a happy and safe 4th. XO, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth and Calista Jo
That first shot we see all the time on the Delta. All the time. We see lots of water birds and tons of ducks. We are on our boat now and there are a bunch of ducks begging for food. They are good at that.
Have a purrfect day. My best to your humans. :)
I LOVE all the animal photos! The mountain scene is very beautiful too :) Glad you both enjoyed your trip!
