You can spend 2 week at Lower Kananaskis Lake and never see a grizzly. Then one day see 5.

There is far more to wildlife numbers than what your eyes see. Spotting wildlife is a combination of luck and timing and actually trying to see them.

It is not a photo shoot for most animals. They hide from people and other predators.
