Plot Synopsis

ALASKA ANIMAL RESCUE is a one-hour reality series that follows wildlife heroes from three renowned conservation centers as they respond to animals in need. Whether caring for a stranded sea lion, an orphaned lynx or an injured eagle, these are the people on the front lines, willing to do whatever it takes to rescue and preserve Alaska's wildlife. The Alaska SeaLife Center in Seward monitors the state's 6,640 miles of coastline, helping a diverse range of marine life, including walruses, whales, otters and octopuses. Alaska Raptor Center in Sitka specializes in the state's airborne animals, like bald eagles, owls and other birds of prey. And the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center in Portage takes on the biggest and most iconic land animals, including bears, wolves and bison. These dedicated first responders, veterinarians and animal caretakers work hands on -- day in and day out -- through dangerous terrain and unforgiving climates to rescue and rehabilitate these animals to make sure this wild state stays wild. In the series opener, "Fly Like an Eagle," an orphaned newborn sea otter pup, a young bald eaglet that's fallen from its nest, and rescued foxes prepare for a habitat upgrade.
