I’ve always said that the toughest people in the word are babies and old folks.

Here’s a story of a man stomped on by a moose and survived! The crazy part of the story is that his 87-year-old wife saves him by grabbing a shovel and beating the moose. Wow.

Check out that wound on top of his head. Ouch.

Baby Moose

Cute factor is HIGH today. Someone found a baby moose.

You don’t see a baby moose every day. A baby moose was in distress in a creek. A man got him out of the creek; tried to find the mother and send him on his way, but eventually the moose stumbled back into the creek and was rescued again.

Not sure of the eventual out come. Not sure you’d want to keep one of these around very long. I’ve heard they are very aggressive as mature bulls.

Have you seen this monster bull moose?

The baby moose followed the man home. The man has only a small cabin so he took the moose to another neighbor, who took these photos. They took the moose the next day to a woman who looks after wild animals and she put it in a pen with a rescued fawn.You don’t see a baby moose every day. A baby moose was in distress in a creek.

Here’s a couple of photos of a moose skeleton. Looks like the cause of death is rather obvious.

Auto Moose Collision

How did this driver survive???

How fast must she have been going?

Here’s the story:

“The following pictures are of a moose that went through a car’s windshield and out the rear window this month near South River, Ontario.

The VERY lucky woman driver ended up with just a broken wrist and needing a good bath. When you view the pictures you will wonder how the woman managed to survive.”

Monster Moose

OK, I’m from the Houston, Texas area and we revel in large things like Monster Cockroaches. We have no concept of whether this is a large or average bull moose. However, if these photos are not ‘shopped then the scale of this animal would indicate it is HUGE!

Here’s the text in the email that was sent to me:

By the length of his beard and the grey legs, I figure he must be over 10 years old. He looks to be well over 8 feet at the top of the shoulder hump, and with his head up the height to the top of his antler must be about 12 feet. This guy is king of the forest, no bear or pack of wolves would dare come after him when he has this rack. Considering that a dirt road can fit 1 1/2 cars across, this fellow is HUGE. THIS IS ONE BIG BOY!

Yes it is a regular size dirt road.

White Moose sean near Park City, Utah

This email came to me today. Spectacular photos of a white moose seen near Park City, Utah. I understand that the coloration is quite normal. I don’t know how rare it is to see a white moose. But, apparently, these are not considered albino.
