Tikaani

Tikaani (F)

Tikaani is an incredibly gentle, loving dog. She is also very beautiful and dignified-looking, although she loves to give kisses and snuggle for affection. She is a solid sled dog, perfect for running with unruly puppies. She is the mother of the river litter, and unfortunately shares the same animosity for her daughters (Chulitna and Muddy) that they hold against one another. It's a typical case of sibling rivalry and family dysfunction.

Tikaani means wolf in Athabaskan (the language of the natives people that inhabit this area).

Born: 07/01/2001
Weight: 55 lbs

Storms sweep in small amounts of pollution from around the Northern Hemisphere

Did You Know?
Small amounts of airborne pollutants from around the world arrive in Denali every year. Remoteness alone cannot protect the park's clean air. As global human population grows, it is likely that increasing global emissions will affect Denali's air quality.
