Why did the bear cross the road?

[Catherine]

Because of the way the Trans Canada Highway was set up they had to build special wildlife crossing tunnels under the road. There were too many collisions. It was not working for the people or the animals.

Now they have the tunnels and it seems that the bears are using them.

One bear in particular had bred with 5 different females on both sides of the road and fathered 11 children. We know why he crossed the road.

Actually I lived out there before the tunnels were built and the highway carnage was terrible. There was talk of tunnels and then the building of tunnels. Now we know that they work.
