The cougar that killed a 30-year-old cross-country skier in Banff National Park was exhibiting very unusual behavior, according to park officials. Park warden Ian Syme said, “We may never know what cause the attack,” which he characterized as extremely rare. He cautioned skiers to stay off the trails or go during daylight hours and travel in a group.
