Local animals

Alaska has a diverse wildlife population that can cross into the urban Anchorage and surrounding areas. Bears, both black and grizzly, are regularly sighted within the city. There are also wolves that have been known to attack and kill local dogs. Moose will also enter into populated areas and are known to be aggressive towards humans at times. North America has large wildlife that can be very dangerous depending on proximity and temperament- if you see any of these animals, get yourself to a secure and safe location.
