Today's photograph was taken at the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center, mile 79, Seward Highway, Portage Alaska. The grizzly may be captive but he is still wild. The AWCC is a non-profit organization dedicated to preserving Alaska's wildlife through public education. The center takes animals that are injured or orphaned year round and provides a spacious enclosure and quality animal care. Animals that can be released into the wild are and those that cannot be are provided a permanent home at the center.
I personally do not like zoos, I do not believe in keeping wild animals in cages or on concrete slabs, but I would recommend this place. It is not a zoo and there intentions are good. Your admission price is going to a good cause and the animals are kept in areas much like there natural habitat.
I forgot about these photos and just recently found them, so expect more in the future.

It's nice that he posed like that for you.
Those claws are a little scary!
Nice picture. I enjoy the pictures of the bears.
He didn't just pose, I made him do it or I was going to send my son in after him.
I like the bear photos also, but then I like bears. I have messed with them a little to much the last few years that I occasionally have dreams about them were they are chasing me. Good thing I wake up before they catch me.
