- Ovis canadensis.
Snaring to Devona - Jasper Park. April 16/43. [1943]
Sheep found widely scattered along north
bank of Athabasca for the entire distance
(8 +/- miles) except in the forested areas.
At this date the sexes are segregated
into groups of which the ram groups
are fairly tight + the ewes + young
groups loose aggregations that amalgamate
on alarm. In one instance a group
of ewes + young merged with a small
group of rams when alarmed by
something.
