Musk Ox

The only animal alive that was alive during the Ice Age is...the musk ox! Although it has ox in it's name, the musk ox's closest relative is the mountain goat. They only live to be about 15 years old and 3-4 ft tall. I'm by a 2yr old and Todd is by a full grown musk ox.

Bears, Bears, and Bears

We saw a total of 11 bears when we went fishing from about 10pm til 2am. It actually became pretty nerve racking, not knowing where the bears were going to pop up. Scott had a pretty good scare when he and 4 other guys were fishing facing the bank and out pop a brown sow and her two cubs right in front of them!
We saw 2 brown bears each with 2 cubs, 1 male brown bear, 2 black bears each with 1 cub.
Here's a few pictures I got:



Brown Bears

I have a video of them coming down into the water but I was backing away so it's kind of bumpy to watch.
