Baby Musk Ox rescued from Prudhoe Bay!
AWCC worked in conjunction with Department of Fish & Game, BP, Conoco Phillips, CH2MHILL, and Shared Services to rescue this baby Musk Ox. Though without a name currently, Mukluck is more than likely going to be a winner for this little girl who was found on Mukluck Station after her mother was killed by a bear. Kristen Peterson is lead caretaker of the animal, and as soon as possible, we will put her out on exhibit for our guests to see! The Musk Ox, not Kristen.

AWCC provides visitors with the opportunity to view Alaskan wildlife up close.
Amateur photographers have the opportunity to take award winning photographs while animals display their natural, "wild", behavior. Coyotes
peer
out from behind the brush while a bald eagle swoops in on the salmon remains left by a grizzly bear. Wood Bison plod through 65 acres of tidal flat terrain, as part of a program that will one day restore the species to the Alaskan
wilderness.
Come be a part of these exciting programs!
AWCC has provided care for hundreds of displaced animals because visitors like you have made critical contributions in the form of admission fees, donations, memberships, and
gift shop purchases. AWCC encourages you to visit the center with your walking shoes and camera in hand for an educational Alaskan experience to remember. We thank you in advance for your support and assistance in
preserving Alaskan wildlife.
