Wild Animals Visit Banff
Banff, a busy summer hub in the Rocky Mountain park, hosts daily deer sightings and nightly elk leaping into bushes to avoid cars. Bears occasionally wander through the village while deer, elk, and bears generally roam tame yet wary of humans. A cyclist once somersaulted after striking a dark object and discovering a bear on the trail. The park bans shooting within its limits and many cottages build deer proof fences to protect their gardens.
