Wildlife in Banff and Jasper



In Banff and Jasper National Parks, you can catch wildlife. Moose, elk, black bear, grizzly bear. We were not so lucky. The tour bus driver-cum guide only alerted us on some mountain sheep along the way, and a black bear hiding in the woods. The black bear must be camouflaging itself so well that I could not find where it is (thus, no pictures!). And something interesting - how to differentiate a black bear and a grizzly bear. According to the tour bus driver-cum guide, not the size, not the color, but you should see a hump at the back (near neck) of the grizzly bear.

Since we did not get a chance to see any moose, I bought myself a fake one and brought him back to California. :)
