We Don’t Remember Days...
…We Remember Moments
I certainly remember the moment this Big Boy walked out of the bush and into my life. He’s young but seemed gigantic when up close and personal.
The Moose is a is the largest and heaviest species in the deer family. Most adult male moose have distinctive broad open-hand shaped antlers; most other members of the deer family have antlers with a dendritic ("twig-like") configuration.
Moose typically inhabit boreal forests and temperate broadleaf and mixed forests. Hunting and other human activities have caused a reduction in the size of the moose's range over time. It has been reintroduced to some of its former habitats. Currently in the North America, most moose occur in Canada, Alaska, New England.
Its diet consists of both terrestrial and aquatic vegetation. Unlike most other deer species, moose do not form herds and are solitary animals, aside from calves who remain with their mother for about 18 months.
Although generally slow-moving and sedentary, moose can become aggressive and move quickly if angered or startled. Their mating season in the autumn features energetic fights between males competing for a female.
