Ever wonder what bears do
when we're not looking?
These images were captured with a remote wildlife
camera as various species visited a "communications" or
"rub" tree in Kananaskis Country, leaving a scent as a form of
communication to other bears and animals.
The image data is being collected as
part of a collaborative study looking at multi-species habitat use within our
mountainous landscape. In addition to various wildlife species, millions of
people visit Kananaskis Country each year. Alberta Parks dedicates significant
efforts to maintaining a positive coexistence of wildlife and park visitors
through tools such as our bear shepherding program, wildlife proof garbage bins
and superior visitor education.
