Alaska Wildlife photos
Alaska’s wildlife species are a hallmark of the state. It is home to some of the land’s largest carnivores; is favored by a diverse bird population, and miles and miles of shoreline offer habitat for abundant marine life. From grizzly bears, polar bears, moose, Dall sheep, mountain goats and many, many more, tourists and hunters make Alaska a mecca experience. I’ve spent countless hours in the field observing and photographing these amazing creatures. All of the Alaska wildlife photos are available for purchase as stock photography, or as fine art prints to display in your home or office.
