Yesterday, l was traveling back home. I decided to drive through Riding mountain park. It was a cloudy and misty day. As l was driving l noticed a truck parked on the opposite side of the highway. l slowed down almost to a stop. l looked towards the ditch and l saw a young moose. l quickly got my camcorder out and got some pictures of the graceful creature.

Good candid shots with the fall foliage... I hear they are dangerous if cornered, but I guess you were in his territory!

The last picture is adorable. I read a beautiful short story of a boy who fed then befriended a massive one and got him over a heavy winter.

That is really interesting. The last picture shows his face so well. Are there any other large mammals in the park?

Yes, there are some elk, black bears, bison/buffaloes and wolves.

It looks sweet and gentle, Daniela, but from what I have heard...you don't want to be getting within charging distance of one of those!

 

Birdluv, I'm hoping you had a really good zoom on your camera?

My camera was zoomed, l was in my car :D

It is true that they will charge if they feel cornered.

You are probably thinking of a cartoon series called Bullwinkle J Moose about a friendly moose and his escapades. It was a cracking show, I loved it!

Can't say for sure, but reasonable that you would make the association between cartoons and fairy tales as a little tacka... i think...
