Standing as the largest species of deer, moose (Alces alces) are Alaska's most iconic symbols. These majestic creatures are an integral part of the Alaskan ecosystem, and their wellbeing is a key indicator of habitat health. Adopt a moose and support ongoing research and conservation efforts to ensure their continued success in the face of climate change and habitat loss.

Did you know? Moose have underwater vertically-closing nostrils, allowing them to submerge in search of aquatic vegetation while keeping water out.

The bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) is a potent symbol of American resilience and freedom. Alaska, home to the densest bald eagle population, is the perfect place to support these incredible birds. By adopting a bald eagle, you'll help fund nationalefforts to preserve their habitats and protect them from dwindling food sources.

Fun fact: Bald eagles aren't born with their signature snow-white head feathers. They develop them at four to five years old, indicating their readiness for full maturity.
