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).

Measured from the 2,000 foot lowlands to its snowy summit at 20,320 feet, the mountain’s vertical relief of 18,000 feet is greater than that of Mount Everest.
