TWINS

Brown bears have an exceptionally acute sense of smell, exceeding that of dogs. Contrary to popular belief, bears are not nearsighted. Their eyesight and hearing are comparable to humans. They can run in short bursts up to 40 mph and are excellent swimmers. Bears are extremely intelligent and most have individual personalities.

  • The Alaska marmot is a large ground-dwelling rodent. It has a heavy body with short neck and bushy tail, powerful legs and feet, and claws well-suited for digging. Potential concerns for the marmots include vulnerability to natural and human-caused impacts as a result of low population densities and patchy distribution. Although the overall effects are unknown, this species' alpine tundra habitat may be retreating as a result of global warming.
