Just a heads up. Someone driving to the boat launch spotted a cougar crossing the road in front of them. (Saturday, August 8th).
Interaction with cougars and people are rare but we thought people staying with us would appreciate a heads-up.
Fish and Wildlife suggested traveling in pairs and to keep an eye on young children.
For more information on cougars Fish and Wildlife provided this link.
As more people live and spend time in traditional cougar habitat, the past decade has seen increased sightings of cougars in Alberta.
