The public is reminded not to approach, entice or feed wildlife.

A recent warning in Banff National Park of Canada reminds us not to feed wildlife.  Just remember when you are visiting a  national park that it’s home to wildlife.  It’s home for wild animals and you are just a visitor in their home.  

A warning was issued in Banff National Park of Canada because wolves were seen eating garbage at a campsite.  Read on:
