The Alaska Zoo, located on 25 acres in Anchorage, Alaska in the Anchorage Hillside, has been offering a home to and caring for injured, orphaned, and captive-born animals for more than four decades. The animals in the zoo are native to the Arctic, sub-Arctic, and other places with a similar climate. There are currently about 100 animals from 60 species of birds and mammals. Most are native Alaskan animals such as polar bears, gray wolfs, harbor seals, and some exotic animals such as Amur tigers, yaks, and Bactrian camels. Gravel trails take visitors past animal enclosures that replicate their natural settings as much as possible.
