The preserve not only offers opportunities for recreation, but is home to animals large and small. While sighting one of these creatures can be exciting, it is also important to make smart choices when visiting their natural habitat. Please observe wildlife from at least 100 yards away. Who lives in Bering Land Bridge?Bering Land Bridge is home to a variety of animals. Some are year-round residents, some migrate, and others use this area as their breeding ground. Large iconic mammals such as grizzly bears, moose, caribou, and wolves can be spotted by the fortunate visitor. You may also encounter some smaller creatures, including arctic ground squirrels, foxes, and hares. If you look to the sky, you may see migrating birds, especially if you visit in spring or autumn. The preserve's close proximity to Eurasia and varied topography results in an abundance of habitats, making Bering Land Bridge an ideal place for bird species not often seen in other parts of the country. Along the seashore, you may encounter migrating shorebirds, seals, or walruses. And if you're really lucky, you may even see polar bears, beluga whales, and bowhead whales.
