Bull Moose Shedding His Velvet
Рет қаралды 685,699
3 жыл бұрынBull Moose Shedding His Velvet
A burly Alaskan Bull Moose Shedding demonstrates what it takes to rid his antlers of the velvet that has been nourishing the new bone growth. The bone has stopped growing; this is as large as his antlers will be this year, and now the velvet, which has covered and supplied the growing bone with blood and nourishment, is no longer needed. A rake fest is in order. Enjoy some up close and personal glimpses of a BIG Bull Moose Shedding as he rids himself of his velvet.

I love how big and how well you can see the dewlap at 4:43 ! Very good up close footage. Do you ever find yourself in a dangerous situation when capturing these moments? I hear moose can be quite dangerous especially rutting bulls and cows with calves. P. S. Where are the best areas in moose habitat to find moose sheds?
@MooseManNaturePhotos 3 жыл бұрын
We use long lenses and maintain a safe distance and always have a tree/trees nearby. These animals can indeed be dangerous, but reading their body language/posturing helps predict what others may not. Best place to find sheds? Well that's anywhere the moose are or go. Sorry, but I can't be more specific because that's pretty much it! I don't know any one area that is any better than others. From Maine to Alaska. Thanks for watching/commenting!

The moose antler grows every year from scratch because they shed them every winter. When the bone is being formed/growing, it is covered with that velvety skin substance that provides all the nourishment with a network of blood vessels and nerves. When the bone is done growing, the velvet dies off and the bulls rake/scrape it off on bushes to rid themselves of it. Revealing their gleaming bone white antlers for the rest of the rut.

Then they get busy raking them, sometimes dying them a darker, mahogany shade given the right trees/brush/branches.It's all amazing, isn't it?
