## Resource

The Boss, Banff’s legendary 700-pound grizzly bear, is back from hibernation—and still refusing to wear a tracking collar, like a true alpha. Famous enough to have a restaurant, merch, and a children’s book, this 25-30 year old survivor has weathered two train collisions and even boasts his own Wikipedia page. Parks Canada’s collaring efforts aim to protect grizzlies, listed as threatened in Alberta, by mapping their movements amid human activity and habitat fragmentation. With mating season underway, crowds flocking to the Bow Valley Parkway have led to dangerous traffic jams and safety concerns—Parks Canada has enforced a no-stopping zone to keep both people and bears safe. Meanwhile, a younger bear named Split Lip may be poised to take over, already inspiring “showdown” t-shirts. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
