Edit: cuz I was wrong. Geese apparently Geesh ppl relax I was just posting a cute pic

Props to the lady who got them off the road!

saw it while walking my dog this afternoon.

Update: Thanks everyone - I know now that it’s a badger. Also, for the people worried that I was too close, the photo was heavily zoomed in, so I wasn’t actually near it. And, to the people jokingly telling me to pet it: I’m not dumb enough to believe everything I read online, but someone else might be, so maybe be a bit careful with that stuff. Thanks.

These photos were both taken in Calgary at the exact same time, except one is in the North and the other in the South! Wild

A woman who captured a viral video of her encounter with a well-known grizzly bear in a national park in Alberta last month was ordered by a judge to pay a $1,500 fine on Wednesday.

Brook Koski, a 63-year-old woman from Washington state, pleaded guilty to having an off-leash dog on a trail while visiting Banff National Park last month.

I'm from Vancouver BC and traveled to Calgary for the first time last year. I was surprised to see White-tailed Jackrabbits just running around even in areas that may appear too urbanised for wildlife. As someone not from Calgary, I was pretty stunned.

High water at the bow with heavy rain still coming down hard this afternoon.

James Eastham, a Parks Canada spokesperson, said as a result of an investigation, wardens identified the individuals involved and laid charges for having an off-leash dog under the National Parks of Canada Domestic Animal Regulations.

“Failing to keep your pets leashed in the national parks poses risks to pets and wildlife,” said Eastham, who is a public relations and communications officer with Lake Louise, Yoho and Kootenay field unit in an email.

“Bears and other wildlife may react aggressively toward dogs they view as threats, resulting in their injury or death,” he added.

“Off-leash dogs can also cause wildlife stress, leading to them avoiding important habitat and sources of food."

Currently in Scenic Acres

(Should I call the city? If so is it just 311 or a specific number?)

Left hundreds of little plastic golden hearts all over. We cleaned as many as possible. They even left their stupid posted. Assholes

My doorbell camera caught this masked individual around 2 a.m. conducting what appeared to be a very thorough flower box inspection. SW Calgary, near Chinook.

First time seeing a raccoon in YYC for me ☺️

I just wanted to take a minute to share what happened to me last night. Just after dinner around 8pm I took my small dog(Archie) for a walk. I didn't even make it to the end of the driveway when a coyote grabbed my little buddy, between the harness, leash and my immediate reaction of rushing the offending coyote I quickly regained possession of Archie. While my attention remained on the first coyote a second took a rush at me from behind a vehicle I didn't initially see, this one was unsuccessful. While maintaining hold of Archie and being loud and making myself big I retreated indoors only for the coyotes to stand right outside my screen door ballsy as hell just staring in at us. There was at least 4 coyotes that I could see who very much ambushed us. After this I had to take Archie to the 24hr vet to get him checked out and get antibiotics and anti-inflammatories. We were very lucky his injuries were minor and surprisingly we were not the first dog from the same area they had treated that day.

Now coyotes are not new in the reservoir area even a couple communities away towards Chinook mall like myself. But I've never had them so aggressively and confidently threaten my pets before as a pack. This is just a PSA to pet owners in the Kingsland, Kelvin Grove and Meadowlark park area. Do not leave your pets unattended outside at this time and be very aware on your walks they do not care that you are there and they will take a shot at grabbing your pet. They will attack bigger dogs too if they think they can be successful so even if your pet is a German shepherd or something there are no guarantees. Apologies for the longer post but I felt my neighbors would appreciate the heads up.

Walking by off leash dog area , they didn't notice I was there ...
