Nova Scotia - where the bears aren't a problem

Since we have begun our camping in Canada we have been warned of the dangers of bears. My favourite joke about bear awareness goes like this; To be bear smart you should wear bright shoelaces with bells so that the bear can see and hear you well in advance of your arrival in his vicinity. To further warn bears of your presences, wear a strong smelling scent like peppermint. So how will you know if there are bears in the area? You will see bear poop coloured with bright laces tinkling like a bell and smelling of peppermint!
But all of those fears aside - we can rest easy here in Nova Scotia because the mosquitoes have eaten them!!
These pictures are circa 2010, KOA campgrounds of West Halifax.

The following picture with an adult hand is to show scale (and the last time this hand was seen in one piece).


I now understand why children under 7 years of age need to be accompanied by an adult to the toilets.
