ON GUARD.—-A fine specimen of the Rocky Mountain sheep scents danger, but he did not know the camera was concealed right in front of him. Another name (or this great mountaineer is "Bighorn." His zoological name is Ovis or Caprovis montana. He can climb almost like a fly, and is so full of wile* and stratagems that a hunter accounts himself lucky when one falls to his rifle.
AN EARLY MORNING FEED.—Female moose searching for lily-pad* at the lakeside. This peaceful picture was taken in Jasper National Park, where all the game is religiously protected. The male moose wears clumsy-looking antlers, which giro him a top-heavy appearance. The moose closely resembles the European elk, and many naturalists say the two are identical.
