Caribou-Denali-Alaska
One of my most frustrating moments of the trip into Denali, there he stood on the cliff, almost at the end of the park road, with marvelous Forest for a BG and sweet light to boot, The bus would not stop, it just kept going very slowly and even then it was hard to aim via the small window opening, I did the best I could between curses, I only wanted a couple of minutes outside the bus, but it was not to be!!!, If I had a sharp object with me at the time, I would have committed Harakiri, even if it had taken me half a day to do it!! From what I learned about these animals, is that they are pretty smart, There is one male with a few females in a research center in Anchorage who has been living there for a very long time, On my way back home , I, read an article on the newspaper about this Dude,, Although he lives with a few females and is pampered to death, he jumped the fence and went on the lam after a couple of "wild" females that came to close to his pen, It took three days to finally corral him and pry him away from the wild bunch!!, All along he could have jumped the fence, but never did until the right time came along!!!, You can take the Caribou out of the wild, but you can not take the wild out of the Caribou!!!
