the Yellowstone and Glacier National Parks. They 

 walk about like superior animals, which they are. 

 Those in parks ever notice any sudden movement, 

 any new figure in the foreground, and detect any 

 unusual noise that comes from far away behind the 

 woods. The grizzly bear and the scout are masters 

 of woodcraft through intensive observation. Be- 

 hind the word curiosity the grizzly bear has put a 

 world of meaning. 



The wild grizzly shows a deeper feeling for the 

 scenes, the sounds, and the movements around 

 him than any other animal that I have watched. 

 Sometimes, while thus interested, he sits on 

 haunches like a dog, again he stands on all fours, 

 at other times he stands on hind feet, tiptoe, 

 and, on rare occasions, he sits on his tail with fore 

 paws against his breast, perhaps leaning against 

 something. Once in a while he gives full attention 

 while lying down. 



When looking at scenery and sunsets, his ap- 

 pearance is one of enjoyment; he appears to have 

 feeling in the conscious presence of that which we 

 call beautiful or glorious. I have seen a grizzly 

 looking at a magnificent and many-colored sunset, 

 completely absorbed. There was no fear at a flash
