Young bull moose in the woods by amontanaview
This guy was having breakfast on our land near a natural pond and in a wetlands. I had to take the photo through the aspen and cottonwoods. Here is is looking up just as the sun filtered through. What a cute little (actually big) guy. He has velvet on his antlers. If you look closely, you can see flies zooming around his antlers and face.
Photo taken in mid-July west of Victor, Montana, USA.

Now Merle, cute as he is, I certainly hope mama wasn’t anywhere nearby. Great capture.
Nope, Mama has booted him out and she, I assume, is busy with her new calf.

You should put this in Even-toed Ungulates group
What great eyes.
Thanks Kay, I wasn’t aware of that group. I will do it!
