When in Denali National Park in 2015 we had to wait several hours for the campers' bus at the visitors' center. We spent the time hiking the area and encountered this cow moose at Horseshoe Lake. We later heard that she had attacked several visitors but we had no problems with her though we did stay at a distance.

This cow and calf Moose were photographed just down the road from where we live. There had been reports of them for months but we did not actually see them until yesterday.

This is a Moose calf, photographed down the road from where we live. There have been reports of them in the area and we finally saw and photographed them yesterday, a cow and two nearly full grown calves.

There have been reports of several moose in our area and our daughter saw them when driving to our house a few weeks ago. I've been carrying my camera when I'm out hoping to see and photograph them, but without success until yesterday. I was taking a walk - without my camera - and spotted a cow and two calves, ran home to get my camera and my wife and went out again looking for them and saw them just down the road from where we live. This is the cow and the insets show her and the two calves that were with her. I'm interrupting my series on Joshua Tree National Park to post these and adding them to the group for Pam since I know how excited she would be to see these.

The American Moose, Alces alces, is the largest living animal in the deer family. This young male was photographed in Jasper National Park, Alberta.

Or is it Mooses? Whatever you call two of them they were photographed in the area of Bonaparte Lake in eastern Washington. They were very wary and when we started to take pictures they quickly disappeared. They are the largest animals in the deer family and the second largest mammal in North America, second only to the bison. These are the subspecies known as Alces alces shirasi, the smallest of all the subspecies in North America
