! Chilkoot Barracks Naturalist Tells of
Peculiar Arimal Indigcneous to
Northern Alai ka
_
The Whistling Weasel, indigenous
only to the higher altitudes of the
north is thus described by George T.
Masury, a naturalist now home-port
ing at Chilkoot Barracks in the vale
through which the Chiikoot river gur
gles to the sea:
This peculiar species of the weasel
family is only found in the Arctic re
gions and ranges all over the barren
ground beyond the tree limit, including
the costral tundra belt from the Alas
| ka peninsula to Bering Straits and the ,
frozen seas beyond the 83rd degree of
; latitude.
The Whistling Weasel (scientifically
known as Weaseleenus Soundoffus)
has one of the most peculiar feeding
] apparatuses known to the animal king
dom in order that it may sustain itself j
under the rigorous winter conditions
as it feeds upon the minute animacula
which float in the Arctic air, Nature
having endowed it with a skin like a
tissue which stretches across its i
throat. To feed, the weasel runs
with mouth open, the air passing thru |
the skin stretched across its throat,
the microscopic organisms being
caught as in a sieve, similar to the
| manner in which a whale feeds.
, As the Whistling Weasel is a voci
ferous eater and as much air must be
I strained through its skin sieve to ob
tain a full feed, it is interesting to
: watch them at their meal. For days

t a time they run with mouth agup
rid the faster they run the more food
ley get, until at full flight the aii
ashing through the sieve and out thru
leir ears produces a full, resonant
me not unlike the whistle of a seago
lg steamer, hence its name.
Since primitive days before the ar
ival of civilized man in their haunts,
Whistling Weasels were of great im
ortance to the coastal natives who
uided their bidarkas from the rug-;
ed rocks along the ragged shore dur
ag the long winter nights, thus being
,'arned by the whistle of the weasel
t feed.
