Nakina
Adoption
Nakina was born in 1998 near Delta Junction, Alaska. She arrived at the Grizzly & Wolf Discovery Center after she was orphaned at six months of age after her mother was found predating on nearby chickens and getting into chicken food. Nakina was named after a river near her birthplace. At this point in her life at the Center, she has shown a preference for having time to herself. However, she keeps herself busy swimming in the pond, tossing bones around, tugging on elk hides, and rolling around and stretching. She even does stretches that resemble yoga poses.
