How many species have you seen? Keep track with the Eyes on Wildlife: Alaska checklist. Earn certificates for spotting 25, 50, 75, or 100 different species. Here's how:

  • Use the Alaska wildlife checklist to check off wildlife you see.
  • You may record the specific species where we just listed a category. There is room for adding species not already listed.
  • All wildlife must be seen alive, wild and unrestrained (not in a zoo) in Alaska.

When you've reached 25, 50, 75, or 100 species, download your free certificate.
