    rCLAggressiverCY elk charges at cyclist in Canada, causing him to crash

    On the more terrifying side of todayrCOs cyclists and animals live blog
    theme, a cyclist in Canada fell off their bike after an rCLaggressiverCY elk charged towards them, prompting warnings from local wildlife services about
    the dangers of cycling near the animals.

    Last Tuesday, Alberta Fish and Wildlife Enforcement Services received a
    report of an angry elk in Canmore, a town in AlbertarCOs Rocky Mountains
    known for is nearby craggy, snowcapped summits.

    rCLThe elk charged at a cyclist and knocked him off his bike,rCY Laura Vilchis Sanchez, a spokesperson for the Alberta Public Safety and Emergency
    Services told the Cochrane Eagle (link is external) about the incident.

    rCLThe elk did not make contact with the cyclist, only scared him.rCY

    Following the incident, Bow Valley WildSmart educators say elk should not
    be mistaken for tame animals if sighted in town, on golf courses, or on
    bike trails, and that they can be dangerous at any time of year.

    rCLWhen werCOre dealing with elk, in general, we have to remember theyrCOre wild
    and powerful animals regardless of how tolerant they may be of our
    behaviour. They need to be treated with respect,rCY WildSmartrCOs Gareth Thompson said.
