Sheep

One more view from the diorama in the Museum of Nature featuring the moose.


Moving along, this well designed diorama features thinhorn sheep, residents of the north.


A panel looks at the different ways mammals move.


Appropriately right next to a diorama of pronghorns, who are superb runners of the Canadian West.


A series of display cases look at mustelids, a family of carnivorous mammals. This one features the least weasel, the ermine, the long-tailed weasel, and the fisher.


Here we have the American marten. We'll pick up here tomorrow.

  3. They have done a great job portraying these mammals. I wonder how many moose have perished in these catastrophic fires that are now burning right across the country.

  8. Haven't seen an antelope for a long time. Funny how you could be driving down the road and almost miss seeing them in the field.
