White Sheep. ROCKY MOUNTAIN GOAT 41 I fully believe that the parent stock of our mountain sheep,caribou, moose, wolves and bears came from Asia by thisroute.

Thus far without one exception all the ru-mors of ibex that have come from Wyoming, Colorado,Montana and British Columbia have proven entirely withoutfoundation. In one case a Colorado hunter discovered asmall band of once-tame goats running wild and reportedit to Recreation magazine, with a photograph of a mountedspecimen. It is reasonably certain that no representativeof the genus Capra inhabits North Am
