Lions, Wha? & Bears, Oh My!

Straight Outta Gabriola . . ."it's island time"

In this episode we talk with islanders who have encountered big beasts roaming Gabriola's forests.

How is it possible? Surely these people are spinning yarns!

But when you think that this island is about the size of New York’s Manhattan Island – and all the people and goings on that can exist in the concrete jungle, why couldn’t some mysterious critters carve out a life here and largely avoid detection?
