Cows and Calves
For the most part cow Moose are placid creatures. The main exception to this rule is when they have new calves! Calving season, which is the later half of May here in south-central Alaska, is a time to be especially wary around these great beasts. Yet every year people, and dogs, are stomped by Moose just for being in the wrong place at the wrong time. Given that fact, and the fact we have approximately 1200 Moose in the Anchorage bowl, most of us take calving season in wary stride!

When I first located this cow Moose she kept a wary eye on me, but was soon at ease since I identified myself as human, kept a respectable distance, and never made a threatening move towards the pair.
