Tourist Questions
Here are some of the "All Time Most Dim Questions Asked by Banff Park Tourists" *On nature ...* How do the elk know they're supposed to cross at the "Elk Crossing" signs? At what elevation does an elk become a moose? Tourist: "How do you pronounce 'Elk'?" Are the bears with collars tame? Is there anywhere I can see the bears pose? Is it OK to keep an open bag of bacon on the picnic table, or should I store it in my tent? Where can I find Alpine Flamingos? I saw an animal on the way to Banff today - could you tell me what it was? Are there birds in Canada? *On geography ...* Did I miss the turnoff for Canada? (while standing in the middle of Banff!) Where does Alberta end and Canada begin?
