content: Note that catalog ledger book lists this as a "wolf's head" and the catalog card says this is a deer (source of this change/discrepancy is unknown - transcription error?). In 2019, Gwaai and Jaalen Edenshaw noted that the sharp teeth indicate that it is probably not a deer, and the long whiskers made from feather shafts make it look more like a mouse or shrew.
