Both humans and animals have been soaking in the springtime sun at LARS lately β˜€β˜€

From now until about August, the reindeer at LARS will have velvet on their antlers, which is the brown fuzzy stuff you see on Emerald's antlers here. Antlers are bone, so the velvet helps to bring blood and minerals to the antlers so they can grow throughout the summer.

Want to see some fuzzy reindeer antlers for yourself? Stop by next week for a tour! LARS will open for the summer on Tuesday 5/26.

You're invited to Beanie and Tuque's 1st Birthday Party! πŸ₯³

Our LARS Birthday Bash is Saturday, June 6 from 10am-4pm. This event will happen at LARS (2220 Yankovich Rd). There will be activities, animal viewing, food trucks, local organizations, a qiviut raffle, and more!

We’ll have the reindeer and muskox calves that you met at last year’s Birthday Bash on display so that we can celebrate their first birthday. There won't be new calves this year (LARS didn't breed last fall in accordance with our herd management plan), but we'll have fun surprises and treats planned for our yearlings throughout the day. We're also celebrating the arrival of a new wood bison herd to LARS.

This event is FREE and open to all. Minors must be accompanied by an adult. For more information, or to make an accommodation request at least five days in advance, contact or.

It's a suns out tongues out day for Luna!

Luna is a female muskox and you can tell by looking at her horns. The horns meet flat across her head, whereas male muskox horns are much thicker in the middle where they meet.

Have you ever seen what it looks like when reindeer first start growing antlers? Watch until the end to find out! These female reindeer recently lost their antlers and are already beginning to grow new ones.

Summer tour season at LARS starts on May 26! πŸ˜„

Thank you to everyone who braved the cold and visited us this winter for a tour. We're taking a break from tours during April and most of May due to the muddy and icy conditions that breakup season brings.

Visiting Fairbanks during our break from tours and hoping to see muskox? You can stop by our main parking lot off of Yankovich Road to see if any muskox are in the pen that is visible from the parking lot. You can also check out the Skarland trail to the east of our parking lot, which gives you a view of our wood bison pen.

While most deer species have a nose that is smooth and shiny with no hair, reindeer noses are covered in lots of hairs! Their furry noses are much better adapted to collect frost buildup than a bare nose would be. Thankfully the temperatures have been warming up in Fairbanks, so the season of frosty noses has almost come to an end. β˜€

A big muskox-sized thank you for making the past 49 hours a great UAF Giving Day for LARS!

πŸ’™ Update- We've unlocked our muskox enrichment challenge! Thank you to all of our generous supporters. Our challenge reward video will be posted tomorrow.

For our last post of UAF Giving Day, we wanted to highlight the outreach and education that happens at the Large Animal Research Station. LARS hosts 2 community events each year and welcomes thousands of visitors throughout the summer and winter, with the goal of educating guests about large Alaskan mammals. Stop by this summer to meet our muskox, reindeer, and wood bison and learn something new.

There's still time left to give to LARS! UAF Giving Day will end at 1pm today. Your donations help us to continue our outreach efforts and expand our teaching opportunities.

We only need 4 more donors to hit our goal! Once we hit our goal, we will put an enrichment toy in to the muskox calf pen and post a video of them playing with it.

All gifts, both big and small, make a real impact on the work we do at the Large Animal Research Station. Some of that work involves planning enrichment for our animals. Swipe through these photos to see some of the enrichment that our muskoxen have enjoyed in the past.
