This small band of caribou are often spotted
along the Kenai river and the escape road.
We pulled over to get some shots, they were
about a 1/4 th. of a mile away.
Be sure to click the photo to see them closer.

Notice the stunted spruce trees in
the wetlands.

The photo was taken April 18th 2018
Before things turned greener.

Beautiful shot!!! They look happy to be getting a fill before winter...

Thank you @snowyknight!!
Fill up fast, winters coming! :-)

But these look to be to be bigger than Peary Caribou right? What kind of Caribou are these?

A few different bands reintroduced heard of herds.
Looked up the Peary, hard to tell who's bigger,
want to say the peary looks bigger, but not sure.
Those Canadian caribou sure are pretty!

Did I tell you besides the stump I also got
some caribou horns from grandpa :-)

Cool link. I recall that the Peary are tiny tiny. Like mini caribou...

Amazing that you got a stump and horns. I foresee a great shadow caribou horn post someday (looking into my crystal ball)....

Pocket caribou huh, so small can put them in
your pockets like rocks!

Looking into the crystal ball 🔮 you say this day!
I got one of them crystal balls too! Knew you'd ask
about those horns ;-)
It's handy dandy for photos also lol :-)

Really really small. And not the smartest tool in the shed. Hahaha. Beautiful photo on your link of the horns! Thanks!

Ps. maybe next nature identification thread!

Caribou? How cool is that! That sure is an awesome photo @shasta! : )

We don't get to see them too often, see moose
a lot more. Tho as of late they are hiding! :-)
