Working as a bear specialist up in northern Alberta, my role was to keep the bears away from the work zones. But as much as it is about keeping the people safe from the bears, I believe is protecting the bears from the people just as much. As for this bear, it was pretty chill and really lethargic, moving about the area with no hurry as the dry and cool temps hadn't allowed for much to green up just yet. This video was shot on April 28th, and it decided to bed down only a few meters away from the road. With the road conditions and dust, too much could go wrong and this bear could get struck, so with some gentle persuasion, I was able to get it away from the potential danger and risk of being struck by a truck or vehicle.
