GAME ANIMALS OF MEXICO.
They Include Nearly Every Species
Found In North America.

Found In North America.
It may be said that every species
Of game animal found on the North
American continent anywhere south
of the fiftieth parallel north, ex-
cept moose, caribou and elk, is
found in Mexico. The silver tip
bear ranges an through the high
Sierra Madres wherever there are
good feeding grounds, and wher-
ever there are grizzlies one may ex-
pect also the huge cinnamon bear,
the grizzly's close neighbor. The
common brown bear is not so nu-
merous, but the black bear is quite
plentiful. The white faced bear is
more rare, though it is sometimes
found in the coast mountains. |
could not learn that this species
had ever been seen in the Sierra
Madres.
The higher mountains at all ele-
vations and even the lower foot
hills abound with white tail deer.
On the Pacific side they are nu-
merous almost to the coast. l saw
them just outside the city of Gull
acan. They are very plentiful in
Topic territory, and / a vouch
from personal experience for the
quality of their venison. AT many
mountain cabins where / stopped
they were household pets, where as
fawns they had been found and
raised by children
The mule, burro or blacktail in
habits portions of the states of Chi
huahua, Coahuila and Sonora.
The mountain lion turks in all
the high country, and along with
him is sometimes found, but sell
dom killed, the American panther.
All the American great cats, in fact,
inhabit both the Pacific and gulf
coasts and the foothills. The small
American leopard is very numerous
all along the hot country coasts,
and the Mexican jaguar, known To-
cally by foreigners as the tiger,
preys upon cattle and ranch ami
mails to such a degree as to be very
much of a nuisance.
There are some timber wolves,
but they are not dangerous. The
one animal that is really dangerous
is the javalin, or Mexican wild boar.
1t runs in large bands and will kill
both man and horse. If a ~javalin is
wounded the whole band will turn
upon the hunter, and woe to him if
he has not provided for escape or
safety. The j%avalin is very numer-
Gus in some sections, but if not mo-
Tested it is not likely to attack
