The Musselshell River is a tributary of the Missouri River, 341.9 miles long from its origins at the confluence of its North and South Forks near Martinsdale, Montana to its mouth on the Missouri River. It is located east of the Continental divide within Montana in the United States. Counting its pre-confluence tributaries, it measures 425–500 miles in length, it rises in several forks in the Crazy, Little Belt, Castle mountains in central Montana. The main branch is formed by the confluence of the North Fork and South Fork in Meagher County, about 25 miles east of White Sulphur Springs, just east of Martinsdale, north of Martinsdale Reservoir, just west of Meagher County's border with Wheatland County; the North Fork flows south from the Little Belt Mountains through Bair Reservoir southeast. The South Fork flows northeast from the Crazy Mountains. From the confluence of these two waterways, the main branch flows due east past Two Dot and Roundup turns north just past Melstone, continues to the UL Bend on the Missouri River at the beginning of Fort Peck Reservoir.

The Musselshell River has been known as: Cockkleshell River, Mahtush-ahzhah, Muscleshell River, Mustleshell River, Shell River. The Musselshell was entered by the Lewis and Clark Expedition on May 20, 1805 and named by them for the freshwater mussels lining the bank, noting in their journals that the Minnetare people had given the waterway a similar name; the Blackfeet, who hunted buffalo and prepared the meat for winter in the Musselshell area, called it the Dried Meat River. The terrain varies from the mountainous island ranges, it is fed by snowmelt and has its highest flow rates in the spring and early summer. The Musselshell River Basin, including tributaries, drains 108,268 acres; the South Fork has lots of brush, gravel bars, clear water. The North Fork undercut banks; the Musselshell is about 60 feet wide at its confluence of the two forks. Three reservoirs built in the 1930s help control the river's flow: Bair Reservoir on the North Fork, Martinsdale Reservoir near the confluence, Deadman's Basin on the main river between Shawmut and Ryegate.

The river becomes wider in the 50 miles before Roundup. Honeysuckle, wild rose and cottonwood are common in this section; the river is about 100 feet wide with increased choppiness and flow rate. The more arid climate in this section results in less vegetation, more livestock grazing, poorer soil. Additional tributaries of the Musselshell include: Middle Fork, Bozeman Fork, Dry Fork, American Creek Fork, Big Elk Creek, Careless Creek, Cottonwood Creek, Flat Willow Creek, Hopley Creek, Spring Creek, Swimming Woman Creek, Willow Creek. Recreational use of the Musselshell averages 63,000 visitor-days per year. Much of the water on the Musselshell is decreed water and managed by the Musselshell River Distribution Project; the Musselshell is used extensively for irrigation for farming and ranching and due to that may run dry or nearly dry in many sections during much of the summer and fall. Water supply is less in the lower basin due to the more arid climate and the fact that users in the upper basin have senior rights to the water.

Fishing is popular along most parts of the Musselshell. Species of fish found on the North and/or South Forks down to Harlowton include: mountain whitefish, brown, cutthroat and brook trout; the eastern part of the river has channel catfish, smallmouth bass, walleye due to the warmer water caused by dewatering from irrigation and the arid climate shift from mountain to prairie ecosystems in the Musselshell's last 90 miles. There are three different species of freshwater mussels as well as crawdads; the Gordon Butte Pumped Storage Project is a planned pumped hydroelectric power plant that will use water from the Cottonwood Creek, a Musselshell tributary. There was major flooding on the Musselshell River in May 2011. On May 26 the flooding inundated portions of Roundup. Cresting and flow rate records were set along several sections of the river, such as Mosby and Shawmut, near Harlowton; the crest of the flood at 14.16 feet, more than 4 feet over flood state, exceeded the record set in 1975. The Musselshell region is.

Zoologist William Temple Hornaday of the Smithsonian Institution harvested specimens from the region in 1886 so that future generations would know what the buffalo looked like. The Musselshell was mentioned by both Del Jeremiah Johnson in the film Jeremiah Johnson.

Andrew Jeffrey Gunion Barclay was a Scottish mathematician, known for being one of the founders of the Edinburgh Mathematical Society. Barclay studied at university of Edinburgh where he graduated in mathematics in 1880, he was professor of mathematics at George Watson's College and at High School of Glasgow. He went to reside in London with a son. Barclay, with Alexander Yule Fraser and Cargill Gilston Knott, issued in January 1883 a circular calling for a Mathematical Society; that year the Edinburgh Mathematical Society was founded and Barclay became its president in 1884.

The 1927 Isle of Man Tourist Trophy saw more changes occur with a fatal accident during practice to Archie Birkin, a brother to Tim Birkin of the Bentley Boys fame. The corner in Kirk Michael where the accident occurred was renamed Birkins Bend and from 1928 practice sessions were held on closed-roads. In the 1927 Junior TT Race the retirement of Wal Handley on the last-lap handed the victory to Freddie W Dixon, riding a HRD motorcycle, winning at an average speed of 67.19 mph. In the 1927 Lightweight TT Race, Wal Handley won the 7 lap race in 4 hours 10 minutes and 23 seconds, at an average speed of 63.30 mph. A slipping clutch for Stanley Woods in the 1927 Senior TT Race, riding a new over-head camshaft Norton, allowed teammate Alec Bennett to win at an average speed of 68.41 mph.

Flying High Bird Sanctuary is the largest free-flight aviary in Australia and has over 2000 birds. Visitors can walk around inside the aviary to see the birds, it is located on the corner of Bruce Highway and Old Creek Road, Apple Tree Creek, about 50 km south of Bundaberg in central Queensland, Australia. It was opened in 2002; the facility opened to the public in December 2002 as Flying High Bird Habitat. At the time, it had only the main aviary with about 300 birds, it is situated on land occupied by the Apple Tree Creek school. The two school buildings were moved to serve other uses after the school closed in the late 1960s, John Woodall started building the sanctuary on the land in 2001. By 2010 the complex had been expanded with additional aviaries and a macaw breeding complex, was home to 3000 birds. On 19 March 2010 the facility was taken over by David and Anne Tocknell, their son Matt and his wife Leisa and was renamed Flying High Bird Sanctuary, it is the largest free-flying aviary in Australia.

The Sanctuary was sold on 9 December 2015 and is now under the new management of Des and Cathy Watts. Since 2010 the Sanctuary has expanded further with the addition of the Kangaroo and Emu enclosures, a separate enclosure for the resident owls and animal nursery. Visitors can enjoy a real hands on experience with the birds at feeding time as well purchasing food to hand feed the animals at any time of day. One of the biggest highlights for people young and old is bottle feeding and interacting with the baby goats as well as the other numerous baby chicks and ducklings; the first baby Macaw for the new owners was born March 2016. "Alpha" is hand raised and people are encouraged to interact with him and are welcome to have photos taken with him. The main aviary is over 7 metres high, it contains 300 metres of trails for visitors in a rainforest setting with Australian and South American birds. The sanctuary breeds and hand raises birds for the pet industry, including harlequin and Catalina macaws.

It has started captive breeding programs for several native birds that will be released into the wild to augment wild bird populations. New exhibits and features planned at this time include a koala enclosure, wetland attraction, separate South American and Asian free flight aviaries, a picnic area and kangaroo enclosures, a raptor aviary; these features are expected to be completed by some time in 2012.
