Wild animals were quite plentiful on our trip through Canada. From Kitwanga to the border of the USA, we saw 24 black bear, 7 caribou, 5 moose, 2 porcupines, 1 fox, 1 wolf, 3 and several rabbits. In the bird family, we saw 3 pair of nesting swans plus eagles, herons, snipes, and Canadian geese.
Three times horses ran along the RV without riders, or harnesses. I don’t think they were wild but just thought the grass was greener on the other side of the highway.
In the distance we saw about a dozen wild goats by Little Atlin Lake and a dozen or so wild sheep by Kluane Lake. We could see legs and they moved so they were alive but they were too far away to distinguish what was front and what was hindsight.
We smelled skunk but didn’t stop to investigate. The beaver that we photographed in 2008 were not in residense anymore but we saw several dens and dams that beavers built.
When we crossed into Hyder, Alaska, we didn’t see bears since the adult salmon haven’t moved from the ocean into the creeks but we did see small hatchling salmon swimming in the creeks.

Darlene -- fabulous wildlife shots! We sure didn't see much wildlife on our Alaska visit, and we are happy to see that they actually exist and can be photographed!
