Presentation:
“Southeast Alaska’s Bears” Riley Woodford, ADF&G
A look at Southeast Alaska’s black and brown bears: genetics, variations, evolution, colonization history, and more. We have black brown bears, blonde bears and white black bears - early in the 20th century, biologists proposed 13 subspecies of brown bears in Southeast Alaska. Evidence suggests polar bears evolved from Southeast Alaska brown bears. Both black and brown bears survived the height of the last ice age in refugia here in southeast Alaska. Learn more in this hour-long presentation. Included in your Pass
