Kenai Fjords National Park is a place rich in biodiversity. Like the Dry Tortugas National Park, it also harbors a diverse marine ecosystem and a wide range of birds.

Further, it is an elusive land of glaciers, icy lands, rocky mountains, and green canopies. It is also the park where you can take part in activities like hunting, fishing, petting at Exit Glacier, boating, and kayaking. However, the most fascinating activity to do here is watching wildlife.

Here, I will be your entourage in finding how the wilderness becomes alive at the Kenai Fjords National Park.

Exploring Kenai Fjords National Park Wildlife

The Kenai Fjords National Park has one of the highest footfalls among the national parks of America. In 2023, 387,525 people visited this National Park thanks to its wildlife and the most dramatic landscape with glaciers, mountains, ocean, and valleys. (Source)

Further, the Alaska Department of Fish and Game explains why and how the geographical features of the National Park make it rich in wildlife and biodiversity. About the habitat, it says,

“The park contains shallow bays and estuaries, and deeper marine habitats. Regional currents drive nutrients into outer Resurrection Bay, making that area especially rich in fish and an early location for spring bloom of plankton and algae. Cliffs and rocky shores create nesting sites for birds and haul-out areas for marine mammals.”

Do you want a slice of wildlife at this park where whales and mountain goats cohabit in the most amazing way? Let’s explore.

However, if you are more interested in amphibians and reptiles, the Everglades National Park will be your go-to destination.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) ensures that cruising companies and visitors maintain respectful behavior when they are on whale-watching trips.

Other Sea Mammals At Kenai Fjords

Kenai Fjords is home to many sea mammals along with various species of whales. Don’t forget to catch a glimpse of Dall’s Porpoises, harbor seals, sea otters, and sea lions.

Dall’s Porpoise

Harbor Seals

You will find these cute sea mammals resting around active glaciers. They also stay on ice floes. They love to eat shellfish and fish.

Sea Otters

You will spot the playful sea otters swimming on their back in the water. They love fish, crabs, sea urchins, and squids.

They are furry, and the funniest thing is to see them using their bellies as tables. For sure, you will want to grab a soft toy version of these sea mammals.

Stellar Sea Lions

Stellar sea lions are an endangered species, and they stay on the icy shore of the sea. They have reddish fur, and they are 6-8 in height.

These mammals survive on fish and mollusks.

Birds At Kenai Fjords

From the NPS archive, a historical document on Kenai Fjords National Park says,

“Kenai Fjords provides habitat for at least 191 species of birds. The black oystercatcher spends most of its time feeding in the rich intertidal zone. Tufted and horned puffins nest in rock crevices along the coast. Bald eagles patrol the waters in search of salmon and other fish.”

It’s time we meet the birds and learn briefly about them.

Horned Puffins

These beautiful birds have unique black horn-like markings over their eyes. The touch of red on the tip of their beaks further makes them easily distinguishable.

You must visit the Kenai Fjords from mid-May to August to catch a glimpse of these birds.

Bald Eagles

Land Mammals At Kenai Fjords

Further, many people visit the Kenai Fjords only to meet black and brown bears. These bears love eating fish, berries, and other vegetation.

Final Words

Global temperature changes and glacier melting have challenged the vast wilderness at Kenai Fjords National Park. Further, the movements of crustal plates beneath the Earth’s surface make the landscape and its ecosystem volatile.

So, there is nothing permanent about the animals found in this park, stretching over 1000 square miles of water and land. Also, it is impossible to know about all the species habituating here thanks to the geographical nature and dramatic differences in weather conditions across seasons.

Nevertheless, as you take a tour of this rich national park on a cruise or explore its various parks, make sure to abide by the safety norms. Respect nature and its inhabitants! This is the best way to experience the natural abundance the park is known for.
