Show natureland"" I Reporting- to the American Forestry For-estry association on wild life Refugees Re-fugees from a forest fire, Archibald RutlcdKO' says: "The general aspect of wild cretures as they come out of the smoke and flame is one of discomfort dis-comfort and boredom rather than terror. Not so long ago, I observed five' white-tailed deer walking in single file out of a forest fire, a huge stag leading. About every thirty vards. they wou'.d pause to look and listen; but it seems that they we're as wary of what might be the danger in front of them as they were of the peril behind. Indeed, thy appeard a guage sanely the na-tur na-tur o. the fire. Apparently, they had often seen fires before and their equanimity was not greatly disturbed dis-turbed by this one." |
