Caribou, Moose, Bear, and wolves frequently choose to swim the pass...perhaps the tundra really is greener on the other side. Here Josh just happened to look out the kitchen window at stonewall at the right time. He/she went into the water up to his/her neck, then decided to go south on the beach and disappeared over the hill behind the greenhouse. This healthy looking wolf, and the other wolves on the Alaskan Penninsula, have been blamed for the decline of the caribou. Apparently there is high mortality in calves less than two weeks old. Due to the high price of other meats like beef, our locale, and culture, many families depend on the caribou herds. Times are tough for both parties.
