Shadowy Predators
As Francesca snuggled under their shared blanket, her grandfather spoke in a hushed whisper. “Wolves could be out there, Francesca,” he said cautiously. “They’re elusive but can sometimes wander close to camps if they’re hungry enough. It’s rare, but always keep your wits about you.” Francesca listened intently, imagining the piercing eyes of a wolf hidden in the shadows.
Encountering Bears
“Another thing to be mindful of are bears,” her grandfather continued. “They’re majestic but potentially dangerous if we disturb their territory. We need to keep all food sealed and away from the campsite. A bear’s sense of smell is keen, and we wouldn’t want to attract one.” Francesca nodded, trying to remember all the rules she had learned about keeping a bear-safe camp.
