| Commentary: | “Going the rounds of the traps is a routine that never varies, and yet it possesses an ever-changing interest – the chance of a catch, the hazards of the wilderness, the constant variations of snow and cold…” (trip diary) Regardless of the captions given above, the animal that is caught in the lynx trap (known as a cabane) is an ermine. See #194 and #214 for further commentary. |
