About Wildlife Viewing in Yukon

Seeing wildlife is often the highlight of a trip in Yukon. Yukon enjoys many special northern species not common or found in lower latitudes. Whether it is moose, caribou, Gyrfalcons or swans you wish to see, take the time and get to know where the best viewing opportunities are.

The Wildlife Viewing Program will help you find these sites, and give you tips about how to look, where to find out more information and what else is out there that you

might not have noticed. While in Yukon communities,

stop by the Visitor Reception Centres and pick up a copy of  Wild Discoveries and other Free Nature Walks, Talks and Wildlife Viewing - Summer 2007.  Check here frequently for updates and new events throughout the year.

If you are interested in a particular animal, check out the information under Fish and Wildlife Information . If Bird Watching is your goal, choose our Bird Watching page for information and links to other sites. If viewing wildlife is your focus, then download or request Yukon's Wildlife Viewing Guide and other useful guides under wildlife viewing brochures.
