We observed 90 mountain goat, 31 billies, 28 nannies, 20 kids and 7 yearlings; 4 goats were unclassified. We estimated 71.4 kids/100 nannies, 25.0 yearlings/100 nannies, and 111 billies/100 nannies. Other wildlife observed during the survey included 2 Dall’s sheep (Ovis dalli), and 20 moose (Alces alces gigas).ivv TABLE OF CONTENTS Text Alces alces Mackenzie mountains Unknown Seaplane Lake ENVELOPE(-126.802,-126.802,61.417,61.417) |
