There's a few wolves up in the NW at some of the parks, but that's it. I heard they prey on dogs.

Canyon Meadows is right beside Fish Creek, so we usually get a few interesting animals each year.

The people we talked to today said it was pretty rare for a family to settle down that close to humans, and they sounded genuinally excited.

I'm going to get up early tomorrow and try to get some good pictures and videos.

HPLovecraft · 12-20-2009, 07:07 PM

More pictures or this is all a lie!

This could be you one day.

HPLovecraft · 12-20-2009, 07:11 PM

People have these things as pets??

Better yet!

Imagine coming home to THAT thing. Jesus H. Christ, that is terrifying.

All three of them are fast asleep now, they look pretty comfortable. The flashlight I'm using isn't waking them up, so I'm getting a really cool look at them now.

I guess if they get comfortable here, we could use this as a bunsiness opportunity and just charge people admission into our house to see the bobcats.

Are they confirmed to be bobcats? Southern Alberta is more lynx country.

I'll have more tomorrow. The other ones from today didn't turn out (bad camera), and I tried to take some night shots, but that function sucks big time on this camera.
