When I first got to Alaska, all I heard was talk about how cool the wildlife can be throughout all times of the year. After my friends and I were done sledding on sunday, we got stuck behind a car that was taking it's sweet time to take a picture of three moose on the side of the road. What really made me laugh is when my two friends and I started yelling at the car to move and that it was only a moose, nothing special. I find it funny that once you get used to the lifestyle up here and the wildlife roaming all around you, things that once used to be so fascinating can become just another small event within your 24 hour day.
But, I did see a beaver the other night. That was pretty awesome. Beavers up here are abnormally big compared to others, because they must contain more body fat and fur to survive the frigid temperatures of the Arctic. The one I saw had a tail that looked almost two feet long and was the size of a medium stature dog. Whoa!!
