But when I was headed down the ramp, I realized that folks slowed down because they were too busy watching the mama moose and her three yearling calves.
Sorry for the poor quality. 'Twas the best I could do in a hurry. |
I've mentioned, from time to time, that mama mooses frequently have twins. Given the high mortality rate of young moose, that's a good thing. But I've never seen or even heard of triplets.
Until now.

Maybe she has some sheep genes in her.
How cool! Mooses! :o)
Seems unlikely, Preppy, but who knows? :)
Chickenmom - since it's winter, we'll have about 1,600 of 'em in town for the season.
Did they signal their turn ?
And I thought deer fawns were a big deal.....
The magic of wildlife and babies!
I still like to slow down and often stop to check out the wildlife around here and at the cabin. Something very relaxing and awesome about it all.
Corey - nope. And as you can see, they ran diagonally across the center of the roundabout, too.
threecollie, fawns are cute; just not as large. Those yearlings pictured here are in the 600 to 800 pound range.
Max, I hear you. Even life-long Alaskans still stop in their tracks to watch moose. There's something about a 1,200 lb vegetarian that can take out your car ... heh.
