- Did you know that a brown bear can eat more than 100.000 berries per day? Denali National Park was for sure one of our highlights on our wildlife trip through Alaska. Undisturbed wilderness, spectacular mountain sceneries, wild animals - Denali Nationalpark is the world’s largest conservation area covering more than 24.000 square kilometers 🌲🦌. You can only explore it on a local bus, get off wherever you want and hike the backcountry. But be aware, even though there are no trails and hardly any people around, you are never really alone - because this is the home of Alaska’s Big Five.
Five Things you didn’t know about Alaska’s Big Five:
1️⃣ CARIBOU🦌 - Caribou is the only deer where males and females grow antlers. They travel further than any other land mammal. Some of theme travel more than 5.000 km a year. That’s more than travelling from New York to Los Angeles.
2️⃣ DALL SHEEP 🐑 - Dall sheep are the Northernmost wild sheep in the world. Their horns continue to grow during their whole life, unlike antlers which are shed every year.
3️⃣ MOOSE 🦌 - Moose shed their antlers every year. This makes them around 30 kilos lighter.
4️⃣ WOLF🐺 - There are around 70 wolves living in 10 packs in Denali.
5️⃣ BEARS 🐻 - Can you believe that these bears can eat more than 100.000 berries a day? Brown bears are on top of the food chain and can easily take down a huge moose, but they mainly eat berries, grasses and roots.
*️⃣ ARCTIC GROUND SQUIRREL 🐿: The arctic ground squirrel found a rather „cool“ way to survive the long, harsh winter. While it sleeps for 8 full months its body temperature drops as low as -2.9°C - the lowest measured in a living mammal. Their major organs slow down, while others shut down entirely.
Are you traveling to Alaska and wonder where to see wildlife? Denali National Park is definitely one of the most accessible wildlife places to go on a road trip from Anchorage.

Love MOOSE! They are so big! I have never seen one in the wild yet.
Totally understand you! We were super impressed when the first one appeared right next to the road 🦌!
Great video. Ty. I love the Wolf and Moose of course Bear. Alaska is beautiful. Ty guys ❤️
Great video and I do love all the wildlife, however, my favorite are the Grizzlies. Keep up your good work and thank you 😘
Your footage is stunning! Love vlogs like this that include fun facts. My husband has been to Alaska but we hope to go back as a family for sure!
Cool that your husband has been to Alaska! Which places were his favourites? We totally fell in love with all the wildlife and the remoteness! I'm sure you'd also love it if you visit! 🐻
So impressed by the work of you two. I feel like I'm watching a TV show! Keep up the great work.
Thank you so much, Scott! We appreciate that a lot and are happy you’re enjoying the show 😅😎!
Love your videos! you definitely deserve more subscribers!
Thanks, guys! That’s very sweet!
The wolf so cute
Always inspiring guys, love seeing those bears and the rest of the animals. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much, Sean! I'm glad you enjoyed or Fun Facts about Alaska's Big Five 🐻!
A-moose-ing 🦌 hahaha best joke ever 😂
Check this one: How do you call a moose without a name? Anonymoose 😎!
@@bugsandbears 😂 How do you call a gay moose? Homoosexual 😎
Whooohooo!! Caribou!! Nice work guys! Love it
Thanks, guys! Caribou got a lot to do in the next months, delivering all those Christmas presents!
Just like Scott said below !
It's like watching a tv show, very well put together, great editing ! :D
Thank you so much for that, Sebastian 😊 ! Glad you enjoyed watching Alaska's Big Five 🐻!
worth the wait, I can not wait to see what you have for us next week
Thanks, Jester! Sometimes tough to keep creating while traveling, so we just keep it „every other Tuesday“ 😅! Will see what next week brings! Thanks for tuning in!
Hey, why don't you make a half hour lond film, brilliant videos and scenery is amazing. Keep it up.
Great idea! Maybe one day! We appreciate your feedback ☺️!
Cheers from Austria, Doris & Matthias 👨🏻👩🏻🦰
Awesome video - I like the wolves the best! Will be going to Denali National Park in August, can't wait!
Hey, thanks for watching! Have you been to Denali yet? If so, how was your experience and what wildlife did you encounter? Looking forward to getting jealous 😅😍!
Cheers from Austria, Doris & Matthias 👨🏻👩🏻🦰
@@bugsandbears Sorry to disappoint, my trip got cancelled - too many issues with getting timely COVID-19 testing for Alaska. However I do have some upcoming soon videos from Southwest Colorado and Utah instead.
@@HBMaverick Ah, what a bummer. Denali is just so great! But, with Covid-19 it is what it is and there are other adventures to do.
Such great shots and I love your style of editing with graphics! I've been to Alaska once before but only explored a little portion of Denali, so I would love to go back and explore more of this gorgeous park.
Happy to hear you have visited Denali before - such a stunning, wild place! What other parts of Alaska have you been to? Very curious about that! We definitely need to go back once and explore the more remote North (possibly watching for polar bears). Cheers, Doris & Matthias 🐻
Wow these are some amazing encounters! I think the squirrel's definitely win in cuteness but the moose is my favorite!
We're absolute with you on this one! Nothing beats those moose! Doris & Matthias 🐻
Another awesome video guys, I'm always super impressed by your cinematography and editing. I have a kind of weird obsession with bears, I just love watching footage of them in the wild. Amazing to see how close you got. Did you ever feel in any danger?
Oh yeah, we could also watch bear videos forever and ever. Have you seen "The Grizzly Man"? If not, you should definitely.
So luckily we had all our bear encounters so far from the safety of a car or bus. And for hiking, we're prepared for the unlikely case of a close encounter. However, when we found all the bear poop and so many traces we felt the likelyhood was strongly increasing - and yep we were getting a little nervous - so we changed our route 😅. No bear sighting though. Have you ever seen them in the wild? Cheers, Doris & Matthias
We saw he big 5. Wolf was our favorite
Wow your scenic shots are incredible! A-moose-ing! Hahaha. I want to visit Denali so bad, seeing Grizzlies in the wild is amazing!
Thank you so much, Amanda 😊! Let us know when you decide to visit Alaska! We're happy to recommend more awesome wildlife spots! Cheers, Doris & Matthias 🐻
We are going there in a few days.
I wish I could like it 400 times!!!!!
So all the 15 likes so far are from you, right 😂? Keep hitting that like, 😆! Thank you so much, buddy! Appreciate it a lot!
catching up on my lost episode because i was away last week overseas :D - guys! the aurora is just bliss man! damn that moose is HUGEEE! A MOOSE SING LOL
is bear your fav animal? haha
Thanks for dropping by, guys! Tough to say which one's our favorite animal, but seeing bears in the wild is definitely an impressive experience 😊🐻!
Just amazing footage I love the bears, how did you get so close! There is so much of Alaska I can't wait to see, thank you for sharing. #RUclipsAustria #Alaska #Denali
Thanks, Andrew! We were pretty lucky with some sightings while visiting Denali. Most was shot right from our car or from the local bus through the National Park. Also, filming with a tele lens helps 😊! We also can't wait to go back some time to visit the more remote North. Cheers, Doris & Matthias 🐻
Very well done episode! Do you have a nice zoom lens to get those shots of the moose and bears? Going to Denali is near the top of my bucket list--looks so amazing! Oh, and thanks for the few fun facts; I learned something :-)
Thank you so much! Yes, the wildlife close-ups were shot on our Sony 70-300, using 4k (so we got double the size in our 1080 videos). But we were also very lucky on how close the animals got to our car. You should definitely visit Denali! It's such a wild and remote place, you're gonna love it!
Nice camera! Denali is on my list, for sure
Kodiak brown bears are even bigger than Grizzlies. Alaska has Kodiak bears.
My teacher is from EEUU and im are from Mexico
Make more videos!
