This was a warning which we often saw on our trip in Canada/USA.
Kris told me that there was a possibility that we saw bears during our trip. Especially driving through the Icefields Parkway. We were driving for half an hour, and we saw a few cars who stopped along the road. We were very curious, so we also stopped. Suddenly a black colored animal came out of the bush. It was a black bear.
I was amazed because the bear was only 2 to 3 meters away from us.
At first I was a little bit scared, because it is a big animal and I didn’t know a lot about their habits. But then my curiosity got the upper hand and we started taking pictures and watching it closely.

The first bear we saw, was tagged. I thought it wasn’t a wild animal, only to find out later they tag bears when they are obliged to tranquilize, capture and relocate one because it’s coming to close to campsites, or because it’s feeding on human garbage. But the bear remains wild.
But because we already saw one, there was hope to see some more. A few km further, Kris saw something crossing the street. Apparently mother bear was crossing it with 2 little cubs.
