Canadian wildlife.







I love the deer in Waterton but I was glad for the opportunity to see more wildlife in the Yukon. We went on a tour of a wildlife preserve, and saw mountain goats, mountain sheep, muskox, bison, deer, elk, moose and caribou. My favourite were muskox (the photo above is from google, I didn't take it). They are a bit ugly and awkward-looking, but apparently their wool is some of the most expensive wool in the world! I liked the mountain goats too. Look how cute he is! On a mountain!

Some of those animals look much more useful than others (horn-wise) Some would be perfect for carrying bags - and others would be useless. The useless ones could be used for hoop-la if they would stand still....
