An invasive fungus is threatening Alaska’s frogs, toads, newts and salamanders.

A trio passing through the area last Thursday said the bear didn’t leave them alone until they maced it on a bridge near the trailhead.

Alaska State Parks Ranger Jack Ransom said his department got three separate reports Thursday and Friday about a large, aggressive black bear on the Tonsina Creek Trail. 

Four dogs have been euthanized after contact with rabid foxes.

Now is the time to take down bird feeders, clean up any outdoor food waste and store trash securely. 

For the last three to four years, the Skagway Traditional Council has been utilizing a relatively new type of science to study the fish.
