Bred from wolves, Huskies have helped humans carve out an existence in Alaska's desolate wilderness. These dogs still maintain many physical adaptations of their wild ancestors, enabling them to withstand the fierce conditions of the Alaskan winter.

Caribou: Extreme Survivors,

There are more Caribou in Alaska than people! Across the Arctic, they're the lifeblood of many remote communities. But human expansion, and wild predators, have led to their rapid decline.

One of Alaska's most secretive and efficient predators, Lynx are usually highly elusive… but in Anchorage, houses are being built in the Lynx's territory, forcing these usually shy big cats, to find new ways to survive on the streets.

Bald Eagle Rescue,

In Anchorage, one bird rules the roost…the Bald Eagle. Expert hunters are perfectly adapted to life in tough arctic conditions, but in Anchorage, the secret to their survival… is trash.

Wolves on Main Street,

For years, at least four highly elusive wolf packs have lived and hunted on the edge of the wild city of Anchorage. But as the city spreads further and further into wolf country, the wolves are now getting bolder.

Bears Behaving Badly,

Anchorage is home to hundreds of black bears. And it's these black bears, that are patrolling the city. With their brains, their brawn and their cunning, these bears have mastered life in this urban jungle.

Beaver Lumberjacks,

Anchorage has a rather unique resident who is renowned as nature's lumberjack and North America's largest rodent, the beaver. With their powerful teeth, the trees they fell can be huge, and their dams can be seen from space.

Downtown Porcupines,

Anchorage is home to a huge number of wild porcupines, living in the city's parks, gardens, and streets. Almost twice the average size, Anchorage's porcupines search for food here in the city, and find refuge during the bitter Alaskan winters.

Brown Bears and Salmon,

Travelling an incredible, 3500 miles through rivers and streams, salmon are Alaska's hardiest resident. But there is one grizzly hazard they face right at the end of their journey. It's the brown bears.

This unique arctic city is home to over 2000 moose! And these notorious animals are running riot… Crossing busy highways, giving birth in backyards, and even doing battle, right here in suburbia!

This city spends most of the year encased in ice…but when summer hits, Anchorage bursts into life. Animals and plants living this far north have been forced to adapt, working faster to make the most of the short season.

Alaska, one of the last true wildernesses on earth. With 600 square miles of pristine habitat, this state is home to an abundance of wildlife. Herds of caribou roam the plains, wolves stalk in the forest and the brown bears are the kings of the rivers.

This city spends most of the year encased in ice…but when summer hits, Anchorage bursts into life. Animals and plants living this far north have been forced to adapt, working faster to make the most of the short season.
