At what elevation does an elk become a moose? Where can I find alpine flamingos? How do the elk know they're supposed to cross at the elk crossing signs? Where do bears nest? Don't all Canadians wear raccoon hats? Ah yes, the familiar calls of that plentiful species, the Rocky Mountain Tourist. When Do You Let the Animals Out? is the first and only guide that identifies the unusual antics of this migratory species as well as highlighting the more indigenous sources of humour to be found in the Canadian Rockies. Bizarre questions, weird wildlife facts, the strangest place name stories of the Rockies, and a chronology of Rocky Mountain humour are just some of the hilarious information provided in this guide. When Do You Let the Animals Out? is a great way for residents and tourists alike to enjoy the best and worst of the Canadian Rockies (no expensive equipment required).
