An otter’s fur is its most important tool for staying warm.

Otters have some of the densest fur of any animal and can spend hours each day grooming. By cleaning and fluffing their fur, they trap tiny pockets of air that provide insulation in the cold waters of Katmai’s coast.

Pride Month is a celebration of community, belonging, and the many identities that make our world richer.

At Katmai Conservancy, we believe that public lands are for everyone. Whether you're exploring Katmai from home through the bearcams or experiencing the park in person, you are welcome here. This June, we celebrate and support LGBTQ+ people and their contributions to conservation, science, outdoor recreation, and the communities that help protect wild places.

Happy Pride Month!

It’s the first day of June! We are halfway through the year and time is flying, a lot like the last of the ice headed down the Naknek River shown here.

We have lots of great stuff coming your way this month that we’re so excited for!

Bird is the word here in Katmai.

The bears may get most of the attention, but Katmai’s birds make the landscape just as wild. Featured here are a ptarmigan, swans, a common merganser, and two bald eagles soaring overhead, just a few of the many feathered residents that call Katmai home.

Happy World Otter Day 🦦

Fresh footage from B. Stone gives us a closer look at some of Katmai’s coastal residents doing what otters do best: floating, grooming, and thriving along the wild shoreline. These playful marine mammals help keep coastal ecosystems healthy and are an important part of Katmai’s ocean food web.

Recently seen in a quiet moment from Katmai National Park and Preserve: a lynx in the brush.

Built for life in the North, lynx have oversized, fur-covered paws for traveling across snow, and sharp hearing that helps them locate prey hidden beneath it. They’re one of the many wild residents of Katmai that are rarely in the spotlight, but always part of the story.
