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.
