⁂ Archibald Belany (1888-1938) was a British-born conservationist. He became a trapper in Canada and purported to be a Native American woodsman, assuming the name "Grey Owl", but turned to conservation after he adopted a litter of orphan beaver kittens. He wrote several books about beavers and the Canadian wilderness and became something of a celebrity but was exposed after his death.
