1710_0657 Moose
Moose on the prairie? I've been seeing them on a regular basis for about three years. I spotted this young bull twice last week, and was able to approach fairly closely while he was distracted (trying to keep track of a cow and calf that had dropped down to the willow thickets along the Frenchman River).
He isn't the most impressive specimen, but give him a few more years. If he remains in the Frenchman River Valley, he will thrive: good habitat, no hunting (inside park boundaries), and no natural predators.
