Chad Dupuis, an Alberta Parks employee since 2017, shared his recent encounter with wildlife while living and working in Carson Pegasus Provincial Park. After a busy day preparing camping sites, Dupuis returned to his Winnebago to find his steak missing, leading to a curious investigation. Initially suspecting a black bear, he discovered a hole in his window screen made by a crafty critter, later identified as a pine marten. The unexpected guest growled from beneath the bed before darting out and up a tree, leaving Dupuis amused but steakless for dinner. This incident served as a reminder of the wild and unpredictable nature of forest inhabitants, prompting Dupuis to appreciate the animals’ domain and share his entertaining tale with his colleagues.
