The Enemies Of wild sheep,

Wild sheep depend for greatest pro-
lection on their climbing abilities. They
travel where no man can follow. and
often in climbing use their knees in
stead Of their forchoofs. Their first
instinct at the approach of an enemy
Is To start for the mountain top aiming
If possible to get above and keep above
the enemy. Wolves. wolverines and
eagles are their most common enemies.
and the lambs suffer extensively from
these. Wolves are capable OF taking
down grown animals, but In summer
hunger seldom induces them TO make
the struggle, and in winter they pre-
fer lower attitudes. There are many
stories told of the lordly rams doing
battle with wolves, which are on a
par with the story of lcaplng from
dizzy heights. The old rams are cum
ming. and In this lies their greatest
safety. They are perfectly at home
on rocky lodges, where the wolf is not.
and If they can gain such position
they will, with one charge. hurl the
wolf To the rocks below.--A. j. Stone,
in Outing.
