YOUNG FOLKS
(bcuupui JtwikA in Jh&AG Wild CLnimah.
NEARLY ALL wild animals,
even the most ferocious, will
get out of man's way if it is
possible. However, when a
mother bear or cougar is ac-
companied by little ones, she
becomes very belligerent in the
presence of human beings or
menacing furbearers.
Woodsmen always give such
a wild mother a wide berth.
Mother love is strong in every
wilderness creature and she
will fight to the death in de-
fense of her growing family.
Without doubt, the huge
grizzly bear is the most dan-
gerous wild animal on the
North American continent.
Usually the mammoth bruin
will not attack man unless pro-
voked, threatened or with cubs.
But there are a few recorded
cases of an open challenge on
mere sight. '
Particularly has this been the
case on narrow mountain trails.
The grizzly heartily dislikes to
be cornered. As long as he has
a good possibility of getting
away unchallenged, he loses no
time in running, as a rule.
A friend of mine once sur-
prised a mother grizzly with
cubs while he was hiking on a
mountain slope. Although he
made no effort to molest the
creature or her babies, the par-
ent deliberately charged him.
Fortunately, he was able to
shinny up a small evergreen
and escape the powerful paws
of the pursuer. Bears cannot
climb small trees. The big ani-
mal kept him treed for an hour
and even tried to climb up to
him. He had many anxious
moments.
In the end, however, she went
away and bothered him no
more. Whi'a my friend was
treed, the small cubs played
gaily on the hillside, seemingly
oblivious to the situation.

FOR ITS SIZE, the wol-
verine is likely the strongest
furbearer in the whole world.
It has been known to roll over
logs that would require the
strength of two men to handle.
This compact bundle of
muscle and fighting fury thinks
nothing of pitching into animals
far larger than itself.
Sometimes it kills them, too.
Many a coyote has come out
second best in its struggle with
the wolverine. Small bears
have, according to woodsmen,
also succumbed. Wildcats and
partly-grown cougars have been

WITH ITS IRON-LIKE claws
and sharp teeth, the cougar is
also a dangerous customer.
While cowardly, it has attacked
children when they were unac-
companied by adults. However,
this has probably happened
only when the big cat was des-

perately hungry,
Through sheer curiosity
does sometimes follow
wilderness "travelers, usually,
keeping at a safe distanee.
Its foraging is done princi-
pally at night because its vision
is excellent under cover of
darkness. Then it can steal up
on its prey more easily.

POUND FOR POUND, the
badger, habitue of the brush-
'^nds and deserts, almost equals
the wolverine in strength and
ferocity.
It is nothing unusual for ft
badger weighing not more than
30 pounds to kill a coyote ox
dog several times its size.
This squatty quadruped ha*
even been known to attack •
man.
Sometimes. In order to brine
a badger from his burrow,
water is poured Into the hole.
The badger comes out wet buO
fighting mad and the hunter
should be prepared to do some
quick dodging if he is unarmed.
Unless he is tamed at a very
early age, the badger makes a
poor pet, not being very so-
ciable. It .hunts food alone as a
rule, rarely having companions.
Perhaps its outstanding char-
acteristic is its digging ability.
Working hard, a badger can dif
a hole and get completely out of
sight in a matter of seconds.

MOOSE, DEER and elk at-
tack human beings readily
when wounded, cornered or se-
riously threatened in any way.
But ordinarily they are docile
and peace-loving.
Almost all wild creatures will
fight when menaced. Self-pres-
ervation is the first law of na-
ture, outranking all others.
Outdoorsmen have often won-
dered how a weasel would come
out in a struggle with a minfc,
I was once privileged to see
such an encounter in the Idaho
mountains.
These two devilish killers met
face to face on the bank of a
little stream. Instantly they
flew at each other's throats.'
But the battle was of short
duration. The mink soon throt-
tled his opponent.
Both of these predators are
killers, accounting for many
animals every year. But the
mink is larger and just as nim-
ble, so it always holds the upper
hand in death struggles with a
weasel.
Both of them are, of course,
too small to attack a human be-
ing. But pound for pound they
almost match the dreaded wol-
verine. '
All are terrors to the smallei
kinds of wild life.
