Wed, Nov 26 @ 3:45 PM. There are currently 40-45 beluga whales in the Kenai River! This video only shows a subset of the group as they are spread out. Thank you to Teresa B. for capturing footage of them heading upriver! An exciting sighting as our fall monitoring season wraps up.

Looking back on summer successes with our wildlife response team, we’re celebrating two special patients, harbor seals Zulu and COPA! 💙 Zulu (PV2506) was rescued near Anchorage after being found alone, malnourished, and dehydrated. COPA (PV2507) came from Nikiski in similar condition, likely separated from her mother. After weeks of dedicated care from our Wildlife Response and Veterinary teams, both pups made incredible progress. They gained weight, built strength, and passed “fish school” wit
