Platinum-blond grizzly's fence-climbing acrobatics spur new measures from Parks Canada [View all]

A platinum-blond grizzly living in the Rockies along the Continental Divide is up, active and hungry from her winter's rest.

Lucky for Bear 178, whom locals have nicknamed Nakoda, the Trans Canada Highway ditches in Banff and Yoho parks provide a ripe, lush, green and yellow buffet this time of year — full of dandelions free for the picking.

And there's little standing between Nakoda and her next roadside meal — not even the wildlife fencing installed to keep her and other animals safe from cars and semi-trucks.

"She was up, up, and over that fence. Very, very graceful," said hobby photographer Gary Tattersall.
