What To Do When You Spot Wildlife

Watch for Wildlife

Sep 28, 2020 | 9:42 AM

Have you spotted wildlife and not been sure whether to be scared or excited?

Movement by wildlife, including moose, increases in the fall during their rutting season.

Remember, urban areas are built along natural wildlife corridors (rivers, forests, valleys). It is normal behaviour for animals to roam until they find more suitable habitat.

With increased movement, it is important for drivers to slow down and watch for wildlife crossing roadways, especially at dusk and dawn.

Urban wildlife sightings should only be reported if:
• it is a moose, black bear or cougar; or
• an animal is injured.
