The Yukon Wildlife Preserve

Today we went to the Yukon Wildlife Preserve, it was awesome! It is a 5km loop that takes you past some of the Yukon's coolest animals. We got to see Elk, Mule Deer, Musk Ox, Caribou (which we learned are the same as reindeer), mountain goats, and prairie dogs. The trail was very scenic and took us about 2 hours to complete. We made friends with a Musk Ox named Jesse, he was orphaned as a baby and loves people. As soon as we started walking by the pasture he ran to catch up with us. He even climbed up onto the fence to have a better look. Unfortunately the Moose were not feeling social and kept to the back corner of their area in the park, but we bought a year membership so I am sure we will see him eventually. They will also be welcoming a Lynx at the end of the month, and we are looking forward to seeing her too. Have a look at some of our pictures from today & enjoy. We will write again soon!
