Parks Canada warns drivers that moose may try to lick salt off their cars during winter, putting the animals at risk of getting hit by vehicles. Moose seek out salt as they don't get enough from their herbivore diet, and road salt sprayed onto cars becomes a convenient treat for them. The warning aims to prevent moose from getting used to licking salt off cars and preserve Canada's moose population.
A Canadian couple, Doug Inglis and Jenny Gusse, were tragically mauled to death by a grizzly bear in Banff National Park. The uncle of one of the victims received a chilling final message from their Garmin GPS device, saying "Bear attack bad." The couple's tent was crushed, their e-readers were open, and their dog also died in the attack. Despite using bear spray, the bear was not deterred. Parks Canada euthanized the bear and found it to be a female estimated to be over 25 years old. The couple had meticulously planned their hiking trip and followed safety precautions, but unfortunately, tragedy struck.
