A wood bison cow gave birth to the first calf of the season last week at the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center. The Center is expecting about 40 wood bison calves this spring. This calf is in addition to the two musk oxen calves that the Center has seen born this year, and there is also the possibility of elk calves later in the spring. The Center will be open for free admission to all on Sunday in celebration of Mother's Day. These calves are the perfect addition to an exciting mother's day. DOUG LINDSTRAND / 2012
