Caribou shed their velvet from their antlers, and the males drop their antlers in November. I was lucky to see this guy standing so proudly in the park...
Here's some info I got online to share with you.
Do caribou shed their velvet?
After insect numbers decline in August, caribou scatter out and feed heavily on willow leaves and mushrooms to regain body weight. The shedding of velvet (the fur covering on antlers) by large bulls in late August and early September marks the approach of the rutting (breeding) season and the start of fall migration.

This was taken a few years ago, and it took me a while to post/share on Flickr for a few reasons, and now I guess it's time.
Update 10/23 - I just added this photo to one of the groups; I know that this pic was taken a while back, and it kept taking me to this photo, which I thought I should share. :)
Here are a few of my collections on my caribou photos throughout the years that I have been in the park and Alaska.
One handsome dude just posing for the camera - THANK YOU!!!

All bourbon is whiskey, but not all whiskey is bourbon. Bourbon must be at least 51% corn. #themoreyouknow

Way up on the ridgeline I spotted this single caribou - must have to look for the rest of its herd, or just out for a snack by itself

I took this photo at the end of the summer of 2019. Caribou are out and about and getting ready for rutting season. So amazing how proud this caribou is just roaming around its turf, just beautiful!!
I fell in love with nature and wildlife since I first stepped in Alaska years back; that FIRST TIME was my last time being a city girl, and I decided to relocate from the east coast to Alaska.
Every year, every time I go into the park, it's always a different scenario. Yesterday was always a new face from last week and not the same as today - just like life, but you'll remember all those days that make you smile or...move on!
...and to that - I am grateful!

I was lucky to capture the herd heading towards the west of the park.

There's not a lot to be said about her - she only lasted 14 issues in the 90's - but she's also an enemy of the Ray and a Justice League member - a roster I've been trying to complete. Not a huge addition, but a necessary one that I think turned out pretty okay!

I've always liked the 7 Eleven name; shame there are none in my area.
For those who aren't in the know, courtesy of Wikipedia: 7 Eleven began in 1927 as the Southland Ice Company. A few years later, they were called Tote'm Stores after someone brought a totem pole from Alaska and placed it out in front of one of the stores, and because customers could "tote" away their purchases. In 1946, the company underwent a recovery effort which included expanding their store hours from 7 AM until 11 PM, thus the name "7 Eleven"

Really, it's just a picture of teabags. Not of me teabagging you (which, for those who don't know, can be a common occurrence in multiplayer videogames these days -- you get shot in the face, and then your foe comes and squats up and down on said face while you lay supine, waiting to respawn; hence, the enemy is virtually teabagging you).
This is a Tazo ginger green tea.
For those who don't know, green tea actually has a stomach-upsetting side effect. For the longest time, I thought I was allergic. I'd drink green tea, and my guts would get all woozy. Then my head would follow. I'd feel queasy for a half-hour, maybe an hour, then it'd go away. And I'd stare ruefully at the green tea, and I eventually gave up drinking it.
Except, duh. I found out this is not at all an uncommon side effect. In fact, drinking green tea on an upset stomach might have you yarfing (that's a technical, medical term, "yarfing") in record time. Some people say it's the caffiene, which doesn't seem right because coffee doesn't necessarily make people sick on an empty stomach -- so, I'm going to go ahead and guess that it's the polyphenols that are doing it.
You can either drink green tea after having some food, or, if that's not possible, have a variety that includes mint or ginger -- both of these will help to settle the stomach, ideally preventing the Yarf Syndrome (sometimes known in medical circles as "The Technicolor Yawn").
Otherwise, green tea's generally pretty good for you. Its caffiene metabolizes differently from coffee, so you don't get as jacked up. It helps inhibit cancer growth. It gives you superpowers, allows you to punch cars into the atmosphere. It improves sexy-time performance. It allows you to see into the future. It lets you do 10 minutes of error-free trigonometry. It gets you drunk. It gets you crunk. It punches dragons. Green tea is great stuff.
My dear friend Derrick Tyson has been so kind as to interview me for his magazine Sinescope.
I had these posted on flickr till my account expired, now they are all hidden, as are the stories behind them....
but follow the link above, and you'll get all the details...
The first incarnation of the lollipop was probably invented by our cave-dwelling ancestors, who collected honey from beehives with sticks. In order to not waste any of the sweet nectar they had collected, these cavepeople probably ended up licking the sticks, perhaps creating the earliest form of the lollipop.
Historians and archaeologists believe that many ancient civilizations, including the Egyptians, Arabians and the Chinese used to preserve fruits, nuts and other confections by covering them with honey. Sticks were inserted in these concoctions to make them easier to eat and keep your hands from getting all sticky. This practical invention is so simple that historians believe the lollipop could have been invented and reinvented numerous times throughout the course of human history.

Zoo's make me sad and happy at the same time. I can't explain it. I love animals, and I love that I can see them because they're in the zoo. But I hate that they're in the *zoo*, you know? **Yes, I know it's more complicated than that, and that it's not new to have issues with zoos. Still, I was there, in the zoo, and took this shot - how can I make some huge statement against zoos? (And I don't think it's so black+white, this issue.)
Mr. Elephant is in and out of Explore on 2/24: #42 at lowest.
I was checking out the snow from the window at work. Two of us couldn't figure out what these weird super fat birds were hanging out. Apparently we're just not that smart & they're not actually fat but cold instead. #themoreyouknow
WEEK 51.2 – Southaven Burlington Relocation: New Store, Set III
Here's a look down the left-side actionway toward the front of the store. (I'm making a conscious effort to use “toward” here, even though I prefer “towards.” I looked it up, and apparently the “-s” is a British thing; Americans do without the extra letter at the end. That goes for similar words as well, like forward, backward, upward, downward, and afterward, according to Google. To me, though, those all sound weird without the “-s.” Just sayin'. #TheMoreYouKnow)
...With that out of the way, here's another Sports Authority comparison shot for you, although I believe that was taken a bit further up.

These places are public so these photos are too, but just as I tell where they came from, I'd appreciate if you'd say who :)
Yesterday I found out that there's tequila in margaritas
