Bears may be seen almost anywhere in the Yakutat area. Most commonly, bears will be near their source of food such as near rivers & along the shorelines. Always remember that they are wild animals and keep your distance, especially around females with cubs. Moose also frequent the Yakutat area. They tend to like the meadows & boggy areas. Cow moose with calves can be even more aggressive than bears so never get too close.
In the salt water sea otters, seals, whales, sea lions, and porpoise are common sights. Along the rivers & inland there can be river otters, wolves, and you will see lots of eagles! Use a telephoto to obtain your memorable photo.
