The National Park Story in Pictures

sheep

EWE AND LAMB, ALASKA MOUNTAIN SHEEP, Mount McKinley National Park. These sheep, also called Dall, are among the handsomest animals of the Mount McKinley region. One of the problems in park administration is the maintenance of these sheep in adequate numbers while at the same time assuring the presence of wolves which are a rare sight for visitors.

PADDY WAGON FOR BAD BEARS. All bears are not as innocent as the little fellow to the right. When panhandling bears become really troublesome, they are enticed into these contraptions and taken for a ride—to be released in remote portions of the park. (Photo by Louis G. Kirk.)
