Yukon Wildlife Preserve

Love Yukoners' Days. That means free admission and a free tour of the Wildlife Preserve. It is fun to see the animals in their natural settings and to learn interesting animal facts as narrated by the bus driver. Of course, the bus tour is shortened, but still lasts almost an hour.

There were two lambs (one pictured above). What is cuter than a lamb? They are afraid to be left alone so in the enclosure were two volunteers who stayed with the wee ones.

There was also baby bison. Love the little ones.


The first animals we saw were elk - the first nation name is wapiti which apparently means white rump. This is how you can tell it is an elk.

And who did we meet here but my old neighbours, Helen and Ev (with David). It was fun to join them for a tour of the preserve as well as the new research facility on the property.

Kristin got to sit with some preserve relics.
