Motorcyclist takes photos of wolf chasing him on highway
Banff, Alta., man was testing out new motorcycle on Highway 93 in Kootenay National ParkTim Bartlett was testing out his new bike in Kootenay National Park on Saturday when he almost hit a wolf. He swerved and sped away, but then headed back with his camera.
By the time he got back to the area where he saw the wolf, it had jumped over a concrete barrier. He thought it was gone.
"But as soon as I got to where that was, it jumped back, and the chase was on," said Bartlett.
The wolf crossed a lane of traffic while attempting to catch up to him.
"It sort of sped up initially; it gave a real good burst of speed," said Bartlett. "And then after that it just trotted along beside me, but it probably got within three or four metres."
Bartlett said he once had a border collie that used to chase bikes, and this kind of felt like the same thing.
