Wildlife

When driving through Banff or Jasper National Park you will most likely see wildlife.  This is a very exciting experience for many overseas tourists as their home country many not have much roaming wildlife.  Be sure to slow down when driving by wildlife as they can jump out in front of your car in a split second.  You should NEVER get out of your car for two reasons.  The first is that other drivers on the road will be distracted by the wildlife and will not be paying attention to people walking on the road.  The second reason is that these animals are WILD.  Movements and actions are unpredictable, even if the animal is smaller than you they can be much more powerful.  You can still enjoy the animals from inside your car.
