- Rangifer montanus.
Mt. [Mount] Revelstoke, B.C. [British Columbia] July 8, 1937.
There is a band of caribou
in this park. I have no idea
of how many head, but
should say 20-30. split
up into at least two
groups.
I have found signs of
their wintering on the slopes
of Mt [Mount] Revelstoke down to 16
mile on the road but
the main wintering ground
is behind Mt [Mount] Revelstoke toward
Eva Lake.
Today I worked along
the sub alpine country in
the area mentioned + found
fresh caribou tracks of 3
sizes, places where they
had eaten saxifrage +
browsed alpine willow.
Dung examined seemed
to be entirely Usnea
In 6 places I found
young balsams that had
been stripped of branches
+ bark from 30 inches above
ground, to a height of 5 to
5 1/2 ft [feet]. Some branches were
on the ground, all the tips had
been eaten.
