‘A Turrible Looking and Furious Anamal’: Comparative Psychology in the Rocky Mountains from Lewis and Clark to Washoe

Abstract

A preliminary attempt is made to identify the progress of the study of animal behavior, from native bears to imported apes, in the Rocky Mountain region. The survey includes naturalistic encounters, ethological observations, and laboratory studies, but is not a complete enumeration of animal research in the Rocky Mountains.
