Banff National Park - A Wild Year
Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 лют 2025
- 12 months. Four seasons. One revolution around the sun.
That's how long Banff National Park's remote wildlife camera project has been going and to celebrate, we've assembled a year's worth of images from one single location into a short Wild Images video timelapse.
Have a look -- you'll be amazed by how much goes on. And it all happened a short two-and-a-half-hour stroll from the hustle and bustle of downtown Banff!
It goes to show how alive the woods are and, if you get into them, what you might be lucky enough to see!

What an incredible idea for an incredible video! No one would ever guess there'd be that much "traffic" in one stationary location over the course of a year. I'd sure give this a 5-Star Plus rating!
What a terrific video to share with the public. Looking forward to the next one!
I cant get over this video, It shows the real beauty of our country and especially Alberta, Just the thought of being only being 2 and a half hours away from Banff makes me happy, This upcoming year I should be able to trek out that way more often and explore the beauty that is out there!
Impressive to watch the diversity of wildlife passing through the area.
This video makes my soul sing. Thank you so so so much!
One of the best videos I've ever seen on UA-cam - congratulations!
Thanks Parks Canada! A great lesson on how we all do share these areas.
Slowing this video way down makes it even more fascinating, seeing the forest floor and all the forest animals walking about... even the two-legged human ones!
I am sad for whomever put that dislike up there. Anybody disliking our planet or the uniqueness of life probably does not think deeply enough into the awesomeness of the chance we have to be consciously aware of the fact that we are alive and can contemplate on it. Life awesome.
WOW.....I really enjoyed that. Amazing footaage. Many Thanks.
This is one of the best things I've ever seen! Thank you so much for it :-)
I LOVE this!! It warmed my heart to see all the animals living their lives without us. I prefer watching it in silence, the electronic music imposes our technological world on the wilderness.
That's the best video about life in Canada I've seen yet :-) Great job!
That is brilliant. Loved it! Thank you.
Amazing.
Spectacular! A video to be shared with all and thanks so much for the hard work to maintain the Game Cam.
Beautiful and really well done! Highly recommended!
Wonderful. !!!!
I found it appropriate that you would upload this on the summer solstice, since it is rather magical. :-)
That was awesome, thank you!
So much wild life ! i love it!
fantastic!!!!!!!!!!!!
Totally awesome!
Awesome!!!
That is awesome.
Now that was cool! I enjoyed the hell out of it, thanks!
very very cool and amazing variety of wildlife both two and four legged
This was really cool---the incredible wildlife diversity makes me want to move to Canada!
Amazing!!
Very cool!
Great! Amazing spot out there! What a busy wildlife spot! :)
It's amazing to see the diversity of wildlife that comes through that one spot. It's also be a bit scary to see so many cougars(?) and bears! Before I go there, I'll definitely want to learn about what to do if I see one!
awesome, thanks!
I counted 13 species: bighorn sheep, mule deer, wapiti/elk, cougar, black bear, weasel, raven, mountain goat, grizzly, wolf, horse, moose and of course human. There may have been a wolverine on the one frame but it was blurry and hard to tell, might have been a small black bear. Suprised there wasn't a coyote or fox in all those shots.
Thanks!
Wow. Banff sure has a lot of wildlife.
this was cool
" it all happened a short two-and-a-half-hour stroll from the hustle and bustle of downtown Banff! " That's what is so incredible about this short film. I slowed it down to get a better look at all the animals: which Georctified was kind enough to list. Fascinating! Who'd a guessed it?
Trail Cams are so dope
Its good to know that wildlife is still up in about. Lots of Goats and strangely lots of people in the winter.... >_
Pretty cool thanks for sharing
Love it! :-)
Nice job guys!
Cool kitty cat at ca 1:27 ! Great video
@DrSaxxy Thank you. You are correct! We changed the video description but can't change the text in the video.
Wundervoll!!!
hahaha i love how they come and fix the focus at 2:12
This is such an awesome video! That's a very busy spot and you all have lots of species up there. Are those black wolves I saw??
Great work guys. The time compression is a nice effect. Try some cameras with video if you haven't already. Allows more study of behaviors.
On the video player, click the gear icon, then change the speed to 0.25. *Much* more enjoyable as you can actually see the animals.
+Ruz Great suggestion!
Incredible video and fascinating music. Name of the song, musicians? Hoping you post many more videos!
Great
Thx
Lol...kind of interesting, the bears hunch along, the deer cautiously precede, the cougar stops for a nice statuesque silhouette in the dark , the elk -dignified- poses, and the mountain goats just look cute...ALL THE PEOPLE LOOK INTO THE CAMCORDER AND ACT LIKE THEY'VE DISCOVERED THE MOON HA HA HA. B
Really Great Video, well done! I am a little sad that a Sasquatch didn't make a cameo though.
Wow, incredible the number of species! And someone asks, "What's your chance of meeting an animal on a hike?" :) Love to know where this is.
What is this perfect video music?
So that's why I don't hike in the mountains - huge brown bears and cougars. Thanks for reminding me.
Holy crap! The goat DOES explode at 2:27! What the??
Neato! I want to see a moose so bad!
I would love to see a list of all the animals identified. :o)
@vperkins44 They are all your basic mountain wildlife. It isn't hard to pick out what everything is
"It all happened a short two-and-a-half-hour stroll from the hustle and bustle of downtown Banff! " WHO'D A GUESSED IT? Look at what happens when hunting is not allowed and we still preserve some wild spaces with no human habitation. incredible!
Dank.
So interesting!... What trail is that one?
Does anybody know which trail this was on? Would be neat to hike along here.
I was so crazy back in the 80's... going out on day hikes with a small packsac and maybe a small pocket knife (lol). It's sounds a little funny now but i could have been in deep trouble, just sayin. But my memories are still vividly awesome
someone had to go through an entire year's worth of footage.
IntenceCeption no they didn't, the camera is motion censored :)
@thinkofwhy
because everywhere, at all times there are brown bears and cougars waiting for you to walk out of the parking lot....
little scary that a bear would always be in the next picture after a hiker
Was that a Wolverine @ second 142 ???
sweet, but how come I didn't see nick or jane?
Wonderful! Just a little bit too fast...
What camera was used? I want to get a camera just like this one and take my own Wildlife pictures/videos. Thank you for this video.
The mountain lions are, really.....lions eh? Larger and more powerful looking than I had imagined......
HOW MANY SPECIES ARE THERE ANYONE KNOW?
@jasonkhlaw I'm sorry - why?
anyone can share the location of the camera, lol.
Pretty sure they meant revolution 'around' the sun. Cool vid though! ;-)
@MAN80085
I think you have a very good imagination ;)
did that black bear just take a dear head in its mouth. the small thing all the birds were eatting looks like a dears head ...
Parks Canada... Do not feed the wildlife 🙄
@tynzacmama...: It's a bear cub....
@tynzacmama A wolverine perhaps?
@duvzor I think he was one of the mountain bikers. ;)
1:42 - Chupacabra?
would have been so much better with some color.
Am I the only one who watched this in hopes of seeing something die?

What?! No Bigfoot ?! Rats.
wildlife video in black and white = fail.
Banff is a disgrace of a national park with all the development and commercialization in it.
Grizzly Country the town is not the park itself
That is brilliant. Loved it! Thank you.
