Here is a zookeeper’s 👀 view of the muskox introduction to the expansion habitat this past weekend. Female muskox Maya and her daughter Sarah Elizabeth were introduced to this new expanded area where they frolicked and chased each other to the delight of zoo staff, volunteers and donors. Thank you to everyone who donated to make this project a reality, especially those who gave at our summer gala Champions of the Wild. If you are looking for a fun time to see them with an adult crowd this week, buy tickets to our Ullr Fest this Thursday evening at https://www.alaskazoo.org/ullr-fest-adults or bring the family to Zoo Lights this weekend! 📸 Zookeeper Mitch #alaska #anchorage #wildliferescue #championsofthewild #nonprofit #alaskalife #weloveanimals #orphanedwildlife #thankful #muskox #thealaskalife #wildlife #wildchild

Funds raised will support winter animal care, education and facility upkeep at our nonprofit zoo. Thank you 💕🐾
The holidays are a busy time, but this den footage of a stirring Izzy reminds us to find time for rest! Brown bears Izzy and Oreo are hibernating in their dens with access to outdoors, but they only occasionally stretch at this time of year. 🐻

We thank everyone who donated so far today in our Giving Tuesday campaign. We have achieved the $10,000 in matching funds but the campaign is still OPEN and our winter expenses don’t stop here. If you were planning to donate this evening, we hope you will do so as we will gratefully accept donations over the matching amount. It’s all to the good for the animals of the Alaska Zoo!
