Female elk (cows) are about to or have recently given birth to their calves. They are extremely protective of these newborns. Indeed, there are more dangerous interactions between elk and humans than there are with bears. There are lots of babies being born right now in and around Canmore and Banff. Stay a good 10 bus lengths away. Carry bear spray even on popular trails and pathways. Pick up our rental bear spray from our Canmore and Banff locations. NOTE: this photo of a pregnant mama was taken with a large zoom lens and cropped.
