Friendly Wildlife Welcome to Killarney Outfitters

Long Weekend visitors to Killarney Outfitters got a friendly welcome from Mamma bear and her three little cubs. Cars with canoes on the roof and excited families peering out the window stopped along Highway 637 to catch a glimpse of our furry black friends.

We couldn't get close enough to show the cubs playing in the pine tree, but if you look closely, you'll see a little black figure to the left of the flagpole about halfway up.

At one point, all three cubs were balancing precariously on the branch, almost looking like they were going to jump off! Mother was busy munching on grass, and left her young to learn the ways of tree climbing on their own.

The cubs played along the tree branch, then danced their way down the trunk and out onto a lower branch. The bravest cub swung herself off the branch and hung on with one paw, almost as if it was a human hand.

We coudn't think of a better family of hosts to welcome the first canoeists, campers and kayakers to Killarney Park.

The trip home would not be complete without a moose sighting. This friendly guy seemed to be contemplating the world as everyone drove by on Tuesday morning.

Happy adventuring in Killarney. The temperatures are predicted to soar above 25 degrees this week - look at the great weather forecast!
