Yukon wildlife From ground squirrels to grizzlies, watching wildlife is often the highlight of a trip to the Yukon. With twice as many moose as people, the Yukon is truly the domain of wildlife. Yukon enjoys many special Northern species not common or found in lower latitudes. Wildlife enthusiasts delight in seeing moose, Dall’s and Fannin’s sheep, Arctic alpine flowers and butterflies, and mountain goats, and watching the antics of marmots, pikas, porcupines and red foxes. Grizzly bears, caribou, elk, bison, peregrine falcons and millions of migratory birds also make their homes in the territory. As you plan your Yukon vacation, use Yukon’s Wildlife Viewing Guide to help prepare for your trip. This handy guide tells you where, when and how to see wildlife along Yukon roads. Find out about wildlife viewing sites and trails, species descriptions, maps, seasons, viewing tips and other information to help you safely watch and learn about Yukon’s wildlife.
