This #BlackBear has a really unique colouration on its coat. There's an odd bald-looking patch on its rump. Not sure if this is partly due to shedding its winter coat or something else. What do you think?

If you’re hitting the trails this weekend, remember to pack out what you packed in. 🎒

Overlooked trash is litter, and litter is not only ugly—it can be deadly. Plastic bags, cigarette butts, fishing lines and other waste can harm wildlife and plants when not disposed of.

Calving season is upon us, so remember to give our four-legged friends plenty of space 🦌

From May until early July, female elk are very defensive of their young so be aware of your surroundings when exploring Banff National Park.
