Canada's famous white grizzly bear has emerged in Yoho National Park after winter torper with two new cubs, and local officials have been quick to pass emergency laws protecting her from photographers and social media influencers.
On Thursday, Parks Canada announced a temporary no-stopping law along a 10 km stretch of the Trans-Canada Highway in the park, after the white bear, known as Nakoda, showed up in the area. In addition, the speed limit has been reduced to 70 km per hour along the stretch between Yoho Valley Road and Sherbrooke Creek to help protect the seven-year-old bear and her cubs from an expected increase in traffic as hopeful wildlife enthusiasts try to get a photo.
