How To Be Alert And Stay Safe In National Parks and Wildlife

National parks and wildlife within these parks may sometimes be an exhilarating experience but, from a timid deer to an aggressive bear, wildlife should be dealt with caution and care. These animals are called "wild" life for a reason.

While spotting a wild animal within the parks may not happen every time you visit, the sightings do happen, and it's a good idea to know the safety tips should you happen upon any wildlife.

In any Canadian national park or national parks and wildlife reserves, a creature as benign as a deer may cross your path. This passiveness can sometimes be mistaken for friendliness. All it takes is one sudden movement and you will be defending yourself from a frightened animal protecting itself on instinct.

An angry or frightened deer can be just as dangerous as a charging bear. A human can't out run an animal and has fewer defenses when it comes to dealing with claws, teeth and antlers.

For more safety tips, you can visit any national parks and wildlife websites or contact your local national parks. Before you head out into the wilderness, inform yourself on the type of animals you may have sightings of and learn about their typical defensive behavior.

Learn the animals' habits, what they eat, when they sleep or where they hunt. The more you know, the better your chances are of having a harmless encounter. Better safe than sorry!
