WILDLIFE SAFETY & VIEWING TIPS Wildlife viewing opportunities abound in Waterton Lakes National Park and the perfect picture never seems to be very far away. Sometimes you can get so close that you could just about reach out and touch...

But wait! For your health and safety, as well as that of the many different species of animal in Waterton, please do not approach, touch or feed any wildlife.

Please keep the following in mind.

s )T IS ILLEGAL TO FEED ENTICE OR DISTURB ANY WILDLIFE IN A NATIONAL PARK $ON T BELIEVE US *UST CHECK THE #ANADA .ATIONAL 0ARKS !CT

s )T IS RECOMMENDED THAT YOU STAY AT LEAST M AWAY FROM LARGE MAMMALS AND EVEN FURTHER AWAY FROM BEARS

s &EEDING WILDLIFE CAUSES THEM TO BECOME HABITUATED AND DEPENDENT ON HUMAN HANDOUTS THIS INCLUDES TRYING TO FEED GRASSES AND LEAVES TO A DEER 7ILDLIFE MAY FORGET HOW TO ACQUIRE THEIR NATURAL FOOD SOURCES AND THE END RESULT COULD BE THAT THE ANIMALS DO NOT SURVIVE THE HARSH WIN TERS %SPECIALLY KEEP THIS IN MIND WHEN YOU SEE THE hFRIENDLY CHIPPIESv CHIPMUNKS AND GOLDEN MANTLED GROUND SQUIRRELS THAT OFTEN HANG OUT ATOP THE "EAR S (UMP AND NEAR #AMERON &ALLS

s 7ILDLIFE ARE UNPREDICTABLE AND YOU SHOULD NEVER TURN YOUR BACK ON AN ANIMAL NOT EVEN TO TAKE A 3ELlE

s 7HILE THE DEER SHEEP AND OTHER ANIMALS THAT HANG AROUND THE TOWNSITE MAY SEEM CUTE AND TAME ENOUGH TO PET THIS ACTIVITY SHOULD BE AVOIDED )F BOTHERED ENOUGH THESE UNGULATES HAVE BEEN KNOWN TO REAR UP SWING THEIR SHARP FRONT HOOVES AND KNOCK PEOPLE TO THE GROUND 0EOPLE OF ALL AGES HAVE BEEN STOMPED AND EVEN GORED BY DEER AND SHEEP THAT HAVE HAD THEIR PERSONAL SPACE INVADED

s 7ILDLIFE TEND TO BE LESS ACTIVE DURING THE HEAT OF THE DAY SO PLAN TO GO EXPLORING IN THE EARLY MORNING HOURS OR IN THE LATE AFTERNOON EVENING s 7HEN HIKING IN BEAR COUNTRY MAKE SURE TO ANNOUNCE YOUR PRESENCE IN ADVANCE BY TALKING LOUDLY WITHIN YOUR GROUP OR MORE PEOPLE IS BEST

SINGING SONGS SHOUTING OUT OR CLAPPING YOUR HANDS ETC "EAR "ELLS ARE NOT NECESSARILY LOUD ENOUGH TO CARRY THROUGH THE FOREST AN AIR HORN IS A LOUDER ALTHOUGH SOMEWHAT OBNOXIOUS ALTERNATIVE 4HE LAST THING YOU WANT TO DO IS SURPRISE A MOTHER BEAR WITH CUBS

s 3OME WILDLIFE MAY CARRY DISEASES THAT CAN BE TRANSMITTED TO PEOPLE SIM PLY BY TOUCHING AND PETTING THEM /F COURSE FURTHER COMPLICATIONS CAN ARISE IF YOU ARE BITTEN BY AN ANIMAL

s )F YOU DO ENCOUNTER A BEAR STAY CALM AND TALK TO THE BEAR AS YOU BACK AWAY SLOWLY DO NOT TURN YOUR BACK -AKE YOURSELF APPEAR BIG BY PICKING UP SMALL CHILDREN AND REMAINING IN A GROUP $O NOT DROP YOUR BACKPACK OR BAG +EEP BEAR SPRAY ACCESSIBLE AND MAKE SURE YOU ARE PREPARED AND KNOW HOW TO USE IT

s -AKE SURE TO KEEP YOUR DOMESTIC PETS ON A LEAD AS IT IS ILLEGAL TO HAVE PETS OFF LEASH IN A NATIONAL PARK 3OME ANIMALS IN 7ATERTON 0ARK LIKE THE DEER HAVE A HISTORY OF DEMONSTRATING AGGRESSIVE BEHAVIOR TOWARDS DOGS

SO ALWAYS KEEP YOUR DISTANCE AND BE AWARE

s )N THE EXTREMELY UNLIKELY EVENT THAT YOU ENCOUNTER A COUGAR OR WOLF IM MEDIATELY PICK UP SMALL CHILDREN AND PETS -AKE YOURSELF APPEAR AS LARGE AS POSSIBLE $O NOT TURN YOUR BACK ON THE ANIMAL -AINTAIN EYE CONTACT AND BACK AWAY SLOWLY DO NOT RUN AND DO NOT PLAY DEAD

s 2EMAIN IN YOUR VEHICLE IF YOU SPOT WILDLIFE WHILE DRIVING AROUND 7ATER TON ESPECIALLY IF YOU SEE A BEAR !LSO MAKE SURE TO SLOW THE VEHICLE DOWN AND PULL OVER TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD FOR SAFETY REASONS

WHAT IS RED? Oh Canada - 150 years later, weĘźre still completely in awe of your beauty. Take a look around the park and see where you can spot some of CanadaĘźs bold red peeking through. WeĘźve got a few tips on where to start your search:

MOUNTIES

ItĘźs not too hard to spot a Mountie, just look for the jacket. On any given day while exploring the townsite, you may find a Member of the RCMP walking tall, proudly patrolling the streets.

RED FOX These sly creatures are very resourceful and have a reputation for being quite intelligent and cunning. Although foxes are nocturnal in nature it is not rare for them to be spotted during the day. They are not hard to spot, their rusty red coat and bushy tail that is about a third of their total body length makes them stand out in the mountainous habitats like Waterton. Although very cute and have many features of a dog they are wild and will typically retreat when they see a human. Foxes are wild animals and appreciate having their space especially while they care for their young kits. These monogamous animals are just one of the amazing red beauties you may have the opportunity to see (from a far) while visiting Waterton.

PARK CHAIRS Who knew an adirondack chair could hold such a special meaning? A few years ago, Parks Canada started the ĘťRed Chair Experience,Ęź plotting tandem red adirondack chairs in scenic locations throughout the national parks and encouraging visitors to seek them out and share their experience on social media. Waterton hosts five red chairs to search for while youĘźre out and about.

0HOTO BY *ESSICA 3AIGEON

RED ROCK Many Waterton visitors have been known to take the drive up the Red Rock Parkway to Red Rock Canyon. The short trail around the canyon is less than a kilometre long and gives ample opportunity to take in the beauty of the rocks and rushing water from every vantage point. The trail is easy to access and well maintained, making it a popular must-see location in the park.

0HOTO BY 2YAN (ILLMER

Explore a little further into the park with any one of WatertonĘźs picturesque hikes. As you get deeper into the wilderness, see if you can find some Castilleja flowers, these wildflowers are often found in forest clearings or grasslands and their petals look like they have been dipped in a bright red paint.
