RIVALS THE HUMAN FLY"
World Knows No Better Climber Than
the Rocky Mountain Sheep.

OF all American animals. bigho!n, or the
mountain sheep, Is one of the most re
lnarkabe Not only is he remarkable IN
appearance but he is equally remarkable
in his ability to live, and live well, III an
environment where it would seem that no
animal OF such size could possibly sustain
life There, on the roof Of the world he
not only sustains life, but. Winter or SUM
mer. appears to be fat and in the best of
condition
In America there are SIX species of
mountain sheep The largest and best
known is the truly magnificent bighorn,
also called Rocky Mountain sheep. Once
abundant in the Rockies, from Mexico to
British Columbia. it is now found only in
small scattered bands. This is due to
man persistent hunting 1t is now pro
tected for term OF years in some States,
and is slowly increasing in numbers.
Bighorn is of gray brown color, with
a white or cream-yellow patch on the
hindquarters \ big ram will weigh 301
pounds The female is smaller. Both
male and female have horns, but those oi
the latter are short and straight, while
those of the ram are immense and curve
back and around until sometimes they
form almost complete circle.
The bighorn lives in the most Inaccessible
places among the towering crags OF tbs
| Rocky Mountains. and travels with eass
places in which, it would seem. no crea
ture lacking wings could possibly get

hold, and its safe arrival at the bottom
