Elk are a vital part of Banff’s ecology - they are the main herbivore, or plant eater, in the park and in turn a major food source for predators such as wolves. When Banff National Park was created in 1885, only a few elk were seen in the Bow Valley. By 1906, numbers of elk were so low they seemed to have disappeared. But ten years later, elk populations were up naturally, as well as with additional help from the introduction of 235 elk from Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming in 1918-20. Today, elk are the most numerous large animal with close to 350 found in the park; over 200 of them live in the lower Bow Valley close to the town of Banff. 🦌

Whirlpools are columns of dust that rise from the ground by spinning. They can extend hundreds of metres above the ground and even move from place to place over short distances. Dimensions, such as height and width, vary according to region and temperature.
The main factor for the formation of the phenomenon of nature is very high air and soil temperature, which is conducive to the occurrence amidst the fire of burning as well.
The width of dust swirls, in general, reaches tens of meters. Some of them can be really dense, accumulating a lot of dust that restricts the visibility in the place where it is occurring. Others are shallow and allow even a view inside the dust column. 🌪
