the foot-hills, and in the Bad Lands, or wher- 
ever chokeberries, plums, bulberries, etc., are 
found. In the fall he craves animal food, and 
is then found high up in the foot-hills, or 
again on the mountain plateaus, wherever 
game is most abundant; and in November 
and December he seeks his winter quarters. 
These remarks do not apply to grizzly bears 
that are found in the Bad Lands bordering 
the Missouri or the Lower Yellowstone, as 
they live there the entire year, “holing up” 
in winter in the bluffs of those desolate-look- 
ing regions. 
The intellect and intelligence of the grizzly 
bear are not fully appreciated. Strip him 
of his hide, stand him erect on his hind feet, 
stick a plug hat on his upper end, and he 
resembles in anatomy and general appear- 
ance that “noblest work of God’”—man: a 
little too long-bodied, neck a little short, but 
otherwise, looking at the muscles of his 
thighs and forearm, a veritable athlete. Re- 
clothe him in his fur, place him on his all 
fours, watch him rooting around for grubs
