woodland caribou

[edit]

There are woodland caribou in portions of Northern Idaho and NW Montana that are not in the Selkirk Mountains; a book on the fauna of Washington is not the best source for a statement like "the Selkirk Mountains in northeastern Washington are the only location of woodland caribou in the lower 48 states." A book or research article about these animals would be a better source, and there are plenty of sources online (and in print) which state there are woodland caribou in NW Montana and northern Idaho.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.175.148.28 (talkcontribs) 22:34, February 22, 2012 UTC

I've not heard of any in BC south of Prince George in modern times, but will check with BC Fish and Wildlife. They certainly were present in earlier times, which is how the Cariboo region got its name as there were lots there, I'd think in the Rocky Mountain Trench also, so some herds may have come farther south, though in the Selkirks themselves the mountainous terrain isn't their kind of thing, I think.Skookum1 (talk) 05:09, 1 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
