Ok one more moose shot then I will post something else. He just happened to be right by the road saying hi to everyone.
Male greater kudu(Tragelaphus strepsiceros), a woodland antelope found throughout eastern and southern Africa. It is one of the largest species of antelope. Bulls weigh 190ā270 kg (420ā600 lb). The bulls also have beards running along their throats, and large horns with two and a half twists.
Madikwe Game Reserve, South Africa.
Conservation Status: Least Concern
Captured just after daybreak during the rutting season last fall. He had followed a female out of the bush and after a bit of grazing, he thrashed a tree and made his way back into the woods.
Very curious and kind animal. Picture taken on my friends' private farm. Village Nazimovo, Tver region. Russia.
Was a treat to watch this healthy bull elk cross Yellowstone's Madison River. One just never knows what critter might cross one's path in this special place.
Thanks for taking a look!
Hope your weekend is off to a wonderful start.

He came out of the woods to a marshy/wet area to get a big drink...I could hear him slurping the water!!! It was at dusk.

This was the leader of the Musk Oxen herd. There was an old bull that was following the herd about 300 yards behind. I watched as this bull fight off a couple smaller bulls that showed interest in a cow that was nearing season. Wherever this bull wandered, the herd would slowly go his direction.
In this photo, it looks like he is taking an aggresive stance, but he wasn't. He was simply walking up a small incline in my direction.
We took a trip into Birmingham today. Didnāt get a chance to go in while the Commonwealth Games were on so I thought we should take the opportunity to go and see this cool sculpture before it moves on at the end of this month. Had to do some shadow work to lift out the detail, but the iPhone did well!
This bull was captured early morning during rutting season. He initially followed the female out of the bush, settled down to graze a bit, thrashed a tree and eventually strolled back into the woods.
I came across two bull moose out grazing near a lake in the Snowy Range of Wyoming and happily they let me watch them from a safe distance for quite a while. This was the bigger one. It was fun to watch them.
Just south of Spray Lake in Kananaskis Alberta is this pretty little pond. The view is looking south down the Spray Valley.

He came out of the woods to a small pond to get a drink, just after the sun had set.

I didn't do all so well with the elk rut at RMNP this past fall, but I did have a couple of exquisite sessions with moose. Be sure and check him large with a couple of clicks.
Thinking back on the lighting challenge here - butt light - I did have that two mornings in a row: praying, begging the fellow(s) to give it just a smidge of body turn or head turn to pick up that sunlight. Patience and luck are key.
This bull moose was hanging out in some relatively dense cover, making it a challenge to get a shot of him in the open. He was also intent on fattening up for the coming rut and winter, so his head was down devouring willows most of the time. Finally, he raised his head while framed in a narrow opening. Click!

I've short-changed the elk rut in my photo stream so far this year, having posted only one shot. So here's the start of a short series to give that special event a little more attention.
Regular observers of the rut will recognize this posture by a bull when he is either charging another bull or gathering cows that have strayed too far. In this case it's the latter.
