Spot the cougar 👀

With more people out hiking, biking, and enjoying the trails, it’s a good time to talk cougar safety in Cypress Hills.

Cougars live here year-round, and sightings do happen, most encounters are rare, but being prepared makes all the difference.

A few simple tips to stay safe:
• Travel in groups when possible and keep kids close
• Keep dogs on a leash (pets can attract cougars)
• Be extra alert at dawn and dusk
• Make noise while hiking so you don’t surprise wildlife
• If you see a cougar: stay calm, don’t run, maintain eye contact, make yourself look bigger, and back away slowly

For more safety tips, visit: https://www.alberta.ca/cougars or https://www.albertaparks.ca/parks/south/cypress-hills-pp/safety-tips/

If you spot a cougar or signs like tracks or a fresh kill, report it to 310-LAND (5263) or the visitor centre and let others in the area know.

Cypress Hills is an incredible place to explore, sharing the landscape with wildlife is part of what makes it special. Stay aware, be respectful, and enjoy the outdoors safely. 🌲🐾
