Great Moose story!
Permalink  
 

 Moose right now are dropping their calves.

A Cow moose was hit by a vehicle, and the impact shot the unborn calf right out of the mother onto the road!! Someone was right there, and they got the baby calf, picked it up, and it now is in the care of an animal rescue group,, they report that baby is doing fine now and accepting being bottle fed with a special formula they keep on hand for these happenings.

#2/ another baby moose: Guy is driving and finds a just born calf moose wandering the edge of the road. After attempts to get it back into the bush, so it would'nt get hit, it kept comming back out onto the road. So they guy picked it up, put it in his truck and took it home. Called the rescue group who would pick it up in the morning. By now the little guy is bonding with him, and whining and crying when he got up to move, so the guy ended up taking the baby moose to bed with him, fed it overnight with distilled water and a bit of cows milk. He said it snuggled right up to him and was actually licking his face. It was picked up by the rescue group next morning.

The guy didn't mention where his wife slept!!! (This little guy is also now taking the formula.)

Great happenings in the north country! Lol

Just read a story about a guy saving a fawn from a river back there.

It's always nice to hear something good has happened. With all the negativity, and what not, that is going on out there...

I heard that story about the moose calf getting ejected. Pretty amazing. Cool that it survived.

Sadly every year a number of moose become infected with a deer "tick", which gradualy bores up into their brain causing all kinds of unusual behaviour, like walking into housing areas and approaching people in an unagressive manner, also standing on railroad tracks, and roads.
This tick eventually kills the moose in a long drawn out death.
A sad end to a magnificent animal.

I had a small deer under a year old, drop dead in my driveway. It looked like it had the mange where the fur was falling out. Not a pretty sight.
