And whilst elsewhere wildlife might be shy and retiring, in Alaska there are bears in the rivers, eagles in the air, moose bestriding paths and barking seals on the coast. To celebrate Alaska&#8217;s abundant wildlife, we&#8217;re whisking you away to experience a bit of animal magic through seven incredible photos.<\/p>\n<p>Despite their cute, cuddly appearance, polar bears are among the most powerful predators on ice. Thankfully for people who like to spot them on craggy icebergs and steep valleys full of snow, they are also one of earth&#8217;s most patient hunters. However, due to climate change and increasing human development in traditional polar bear habitats, they are an endangered species and so must be viewed from a distance and treated with respect.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-8090 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2017\/03\/polar-bear-istock-AKauroraPhotos-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"Polar bear lying on the snow\" width=\"750\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/polar-bear-istock-AKauroraPhotos-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/polar-bear-istock-AKauroraPhotos-1536x1023.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/polar-bear-istock-AKauroraPhotos-330x220.jpg 330w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/polar-bear-istock-AKauroraPhotos-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/polar-bear-istock-AKauroraPhotos-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/polar-bear-istock-AKauroraPhotos.jpg 1698w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Alaska is home to the largest population of bald eagles in the world, with approximately 30,000 birds living across the state.
