A forgotten stuffed animal is having the adventure of a lifetime in the Canadian Rockies while its owner is sought. The plush bunny, affectionately nicknamed "Bunff" by Parks Canada staff, was left behind on a Parks Canada shuttle bus and is now touring iconic mountain locations and promoting safety as officials try to find its family.
A Rocky Mountain Adventure for a Lost Toy
The bunny was discovered on a Parks Canada shuttle, but instead of being placed in a lost-and-found box, staff decided to give it a unique experience. While the search for the owner continues, Bunff has been photographed at various scenic spots and landmarks within the mountain parks. The initiative serves a dual purpose: spreading a heartwarming story and using the bunny's "journey" to share important safety and conservation messages with the public.
Safety Messages with a Soft Touch
Parks Canada is leveraging Bunff's unexpected fame to communicate crucial information to visitors. Through social media posts and photos, the stuffed animal is seen in settings that remind people to stay on designated trails, respect wildlife, and be prepared for changing mountain conditions. This creative approach aims to make safety guidelines more engaging and memorable, especially for younger audiences.
The story, first reported on December 23, 2025, has captured the hearts of many. Parks Canada hopes the publicity will help reunite the bunny with its owner, likely a child who was visiting the area. Anyone who believes the bunny belongs to them is encouraged to contact Parks Canada officials with a detailed description to claim it.
Awaiting a Happy Reunion
For now, Bunff remains in the care of Parks Canada, continuing its unofficial role as a fluffy ambassador for mountain safety. The story highlights the organization's community-focused and creative side. Officials are optimistic that the owner will come forward, leading to a joyful reunion for the lost stuffed bunny and its family after its unexpected but memorable tour of the Canadian Rockies.
