Continuing with the theme of unusual animal sightings, this one occurred earlier this year. Unlike in Newfoundland, moose generally live very solitary lives in Alberta. Prior to this day, the only time where I have seen more than two unrelated animals together was during the breeding season. So it was very surprising to be driving along a back country road and come across this scene! We immediately slammed on the brakes, grabbed our cameras and started taking photos. In total there were 11 moose in this one meadow, with 7 in this frame. There were two mothers with calves and several yearlings and two-year olds. With hunting season just over they were still a bit skittish, so we grabbed a few photos, got back into the car and continued on.
I once saw 7 moose too but unfortunately I did not have my camera with me. That’s the last time I made that mistake 🙂 Great moose shots in all of your posts!
Murphy’s law! Apparently they roam around in herds in Newfoundland! Glad you like my moose pics and thanks for stopping by and commenting!
We’ve got a rising moose population here where I live in CO too but my pic are not nearly as spectacular. Thanks for sharing!
