Red Fox – Pup | Atigun Pass, Alaska | June, 2011
This young Red Fox was my favorite of the 5 at this den site. This dark coloration is quite common in Red Foxes that live this far north. |MC43-0098

I like the way the wind is blowing the hair across the top of her back. It was blowing hard and snowing the morning this picture was taken. |MC44-0200

We came across a group of some 20 female and juvenile coatimundi. They had become funneled in a small group of trees between a river and the dirt road where we were parked. This picture was taken of the dominant female of the group. She would repeatedly climb up between these two trees and display in this aggressive fashion which served as a distraction while the juveniles in the group climbed into the trees for safety. When she felt the juveniles were safe, she stopped the behavior. MC19-0039

Moose – Bulls | Walden, Colorado | September, 2010
The bull on the right has not shed all of the velvet off his horns. It was a little too early in the fall for these bulls to be serious rivals. | MC25-0289

Moose – Bull | Walden, Colorado | October, 2011
The bird sitting on this bulls back is a Black-billed Magpie. It hopped all over it’s back and the bull did not seem to even know it was there. |MC51-0166

Moose-Bull | Walden, Colorado | September 2010
The dewlap hanging from the throat of this bull is the longest we have ever seen on a moose. Just what purpose it serves continues to be debated. |MC26-0026

Grizzly Bear | Atigun Pass, Alaska | June, 2011
Even though this picture is not the quality I would normally use it is still one of my favorites. It was taken one windy, overcast day with very poor lighting. This is a Barren-Ground Grizzly crossing the tundra on the North Slope between the Brooks Range and the Arctic Ocean. These bears living on the North Slope are at the absolute northern most limit of their range. This bear was only about 70 miles south of the Arctic Ocean and may spend part of the summer along the coast where it could very well cross paths with a Polar Bear. | MC42-0314

We found this Red Fox den site quite by accident when we pulled off the Haul Road to look for musk ox.The den was not that far off the edge of the road, and if you remained still, the young foxes would come out of their den to watch us. They seemed as curious of us as we were of them. |MC42-0179

The Musk Ox is one of the oldest species of mammals living today, and one of the very few large animals that managed to hang on after the end of the last ice age 10,000 years ago.They shared this world with mammoths, mastodons, saber-toothed cats and giant ground sloths,yet while the vast majority of these animals disappeared the Musk Ox has managed to survive. |MC42-0215

Red Fox – Pup’s | Atigun Pass, Alaska | June, 2011
There were 5 young Red Foxes in this den that were 6 or 8 weeks old. We did not see either one of the adults which, I assume, were kept very busy hunting to feed these guys. |MC43-0128

Moose – Immature Bull | Burgess Junction, Wyoming | May, 2009
This 1 year old bull moose was busy eating the bark off of the Aspen Tree you see behind him. I am not sure why he was still eating on the trees when the grass and willows were quite green. |MC4-0472

Grizzly Bear | Atigun Pass, Alaska | June, 2011
This is a Barren-Ground Grizzly crossing the tundra on the North Slope between the Brooks Range and the Arctic Ocean. This bear is at the northern limit of where it is possible for it to live. Living this far north will force it to hibernate for 6 to 7 months each winter. The picture certainly does not do it justice. It was a drop dead beautiful bear. |MC42-0306

Moose – Bull | Walden, Colorado | September, 2010
This bull has the longest dewlap, or bell, that we have ever seen on a moose, as well as a portion of his right antler is twisted 90 degrees. This almost certainly happened when his antlers were starting to grow and he injured this antler. |MC26-0023
