First Bear of Spring
Male Grizzly
© Tony Clevenger, WTI/Parks Canada |
This big male grizzly was photographed on March 16th by remote camera in
the lower Bow Valley. Male grizzlies can be out of their dens quite early
in the spring.
It’s a great reminder that we’re entering bear season, and it’s
time to brush up on bear safety and ensure all bear attractants are stored
indoors.
For detailed bear safety advice, including what to do if you encounter a
bear, read "Bears
and People - A Guide to Safety and Conservation on the Trail".
Check the trail
conditions report for the most current wildlife related warnings or closures.
Visitors and residents are reminded to report all bear sightings immediately
to the Banff Warden Office at 403.762.1470.
