A Wild Year - Banff National Park

12 months. Four seasons. One revolution around the sun.

That's how long Banff National Park's remote wildlife camera project has been going and to celebrate, we've assembled a year's worth of images from one single location into a short Wild Images video timelapse.

Have a look -- you'll be amazed by how much goes on. And it all happened a short two-and-a-half-hour stroll from the hustle and bustle of downtown Banff!

It goes to show how alive the woods are and, if you get into them, what you might be lucky enough to see!

Pretty sure they meant revolution 'around' the sun. Cool vid though!  ;-)

Thank you. You are correct! We changed the video description but can't change the text in the video.

I counted 13 species: bighorn sheep, mule deer, wapiti/elk, cougar, black bear, weasel, raven, mountain goat, grizzly, wolf, horse, moose and of course human. There may have been a wolverine on the one frame but it was blurry and hard to tell, might have been a small black bear. Suprised there wasn't a coyote or fox in all those shots.

Wow, incredible the number of species! And someone asks, "What's your chance of meeting an animal on a hike?" :) Love to know where this is.

[MrDrawson]
