While hiking in Kananaskis, I came across two grizzly cubs with their mother behind them. She saw me. I stepped off the trail and backed away. Realizing I wasn’t a threat, she carried on down the trail with her cubs #andnothinghappened #abbearencounters @elmeligisarah @dtloewen

Suspiciously same timeframe Disney filmed a doc about the "Arctic" in the Bow Valley and filmed throwing live lemmings off a cliff into the Bow River claiming it as natural behaviour... 😅 (lemmings don't live in the Bow Valley & yes they all died) https://t.co/hOVAf28zBv

67 years ago Walt Disney created and gifted Bertie to Alberta Wildfire as a thank you for wildlife documentaries filmed in Kananaskis region.

Happy Birthday Bertie Beaver!

Basically impossible to drive at night without wearing sunglasses. These new headlights are blinding. Incredibly dangerous. Insane that this is allowed while so many more minor car design features are prohibited on safety grounds.

Watch out, Vancouver Island, the bears are learning to play your games...

Once again, proving the point that most women would choose to meet a bear in the forest. #manorbear https://t.co/DJIvGpPtF4

@Interior I struggle with the anthropomorphizing of wildlife, but the positive is that when these celebrity individuals are killed it shines a light on the realities of the impact roads and habitat fragmentation have on wildlife populations. #bear399 #grizzly399

Interior joins our partners, community members and friends in Wyoming, and around the world, in remembering grizzly bear 399. https://t.co/ND8Vx9WwTr

It's rare to see wolverines, so it's no surprise that population info in Alberta is sparse.

But if you're lucky enough to spot them or their sign, you can help! Submit your observation to https://t.co/tpZQnPbviK, a group filling in some of those data gaps.

Another exciting PhD opportunity in human-wildlife interactions. Interdisciplinary project focused on urban wildlife and human-carnivore interactions (coyotes, raccoons) with Kelli Larson at @ASU . https://t.co/iSghBzMrq3 #phd #humanwildlife #humandimensions

[Annie Pumphrey @apumphrey]

Stumbled upon this sweet PhD opportunity for those into human-wildlife interactions! Policy, stakeholder engagement, and wildlife coexistence strategies in the Netherlands...if only I were fluent in dutch... https://t.co/cUyA3UgnA9 @nwa_WildlifeNL

@MattD_Hyde Congrats, so exciting!

@Kelly4rester proposed title: "what is a bear: bears did bear, bears be bear, but will bears still bear?"

[Sarah Elmeligi, MLA Banff-Kananaskis @ElmeligiSarah]

Managing human-bear conflict is complex. That's why we have a detailed, well researched recovery plan to inform management. When @dtloewen chooses to instill fear in people, he's ignoring the recovery plan, input from experts, and not moving us closer to coexistence.

@parchizadeh You sat at our banquet table on the last day and I tried to teach you the octopus dance aha
