Fascinating. Currogated metal tubing is definitely very effective and cheap considering other concrete alternatives.

This is great. Working with nature rather than against it.

Great info for city dwellers. Sure, size of animals are figured in, what draws or repels them - has to be - and this is an informative video. ALOT of configuration goes into these great projects - , they're keeping our wildlife safe. GREAT!

I saw a video conference where they discussed the value of animal crossings from a quite technical standpoint - at what length/height certain animals will use the structure or get repelled by it (its here on youtube) which was also very interesting.
Engineering and nature can produce some quite beautiful results.

Awesome (with exception to the barbed wire)

[@DeSwiss]

Excellent! :-)

Great video!!!

Least Weasel tail is all white. Ermine tails are black tipped.

I think alot of the barbed wire is used to collect hair samples and really doesn't faze the animals. And the information they can gather from those samples can be invaluable.

[@KrisMTL]

@EagleOnTheRhine Yes, I agree! It's awesome!

[@OryanMcLean]

So why do u need Barb wire there?

Hello. DNA hair samples are collected using barbed wire strung at crossings or at strategically placed “hair-snagging sites” on the broader landscape. Visit our website for more information www.pc.gc.ca/en/pn-np/ab/banff/info/gestion-management/enviro/transport/tch-rtc/passages-crossings/faq/10
