Feb. 9 Huaylarcos, 52 mi. ENE Arequipa, 15,000'
3 (???) crossed road at 138, were chased by ? of 3 at 138.1, and ran across E 138 flat. No others in E 138.2 Draw.
Nothing to correspond to groups 4
watched yesterday in SW Branch, which
must have resulted from some
disturbance.
Feb. 10 AM Opposite 137.4 and near stream (W aid)
were 2. Across from them in mouth of
E 137.5 Draw was 1. On hillside to W of road
at 137.8 were 10. 2 (???) ran up canyon
which crosses road at 137.65 and up near
10, whose ? chased them on up over hill.
150 yd. W 138 were 4 (3 yesterday) with
3 yearlings. None in bottom of E 138.2 Draw
or around Rocky Hill. I watched the 4
with 3 Y. One of the yearlings pranced about
with tail up whenever they moved about.
The ? chased it several times. ? lay
down much of the time. I can distinguish
all 3 yearlings. The one which gets chased
is smallest. Of other 2 one is darker and
older looking (this one sexed - a ?) and the
other has a very fuzzy head. All
moved down to the road at the culvert
just beyond 138 and rolled on road
bank just beyond culvert below road.
