In a large pen in the centre of the main room
behind a wire fence is a herd of ten Elk
from the Cabin Park. They are noble creatures,
two of them males with antlers. I stroked the
head and neck of a female for some minutes.

In a section of the same pen are two
Rocky Mt. Goats in find condition. I never saw
these creatures before and was much interested
in them. The fur was very long and pure white.
the hoofs are very deeply cloven.

Other interesting animals were
Timber Wolves
One grown up, immature; three young ones,
the latter in a cage by themselves, pretty creatures.
Mountain Lions
A pair together, very handsome, at times,
quite active.
Grizzly Bear
A young one, claws exposed, long.
Canada Lynx
A pair, large cats, with pointed tufted ears.
Wild Cats.
A pair, very different in appearance from the Lynx.
Fisher
A fine specimen, some 3 feet long, rarely seen
in captivity, and hence of special interest. He is
black and somewhat resembles a large weasle.
Squirrels, Red, Gray & Flying
These were in cages of varying sizes and at-
tracted much attention. The Grays had a large
enclosure with a tree in the middle.
