Caption

Researchers placed camera traps along hiking trails in Glacier National Park and found that 16 out of 22 species changed the way they accessed areas when humans were present. Only one species red fox were more present on and near trails when the park was open–perhaps because their competitors, coyotes, avoided those areas when humans were around.
