    • There is a healthy grizzly and black bear population in Waterton Lakes National Park. Travelling in a group is recommended. Bear mace (last resort defence) and bear-bells (for noise) are available from some shops. I've also heard of bear-bangers, which might be compared to a military "thunderclap", a noise-maker which can shake the whole valley to scare a nearby bear away. The local joke is: just be sure it doesn't go off behind the bear...or it'll run right at you!
