Bad Medicine, in the northern reaches of the pipeline, in the caribou migration country, there are "loops" in the pipe so the caribou can walk under. I dunno; four 90-degree ells, or some such. (I'm dredging this up from memories of when the thing was built, so cut me some slack.)
At any rate, the anti-pipe folks were howling and yowling that just the noise of the oil rushing through the pipe would scare off the caribou. Yada-yada-yada. Unfortunately for their credibility, there are photos of caribou lying alongside the pipeline, chewing their cud. Warmer there, ya know! And photos of caribou walking through the pipeline "loops".
