The moose is an elegant yet massive figure that is generally hard to spot in the wild. Unfortunately with their declining population it is going to get harder and harder to see them.
The moose is Minnesota's largest wild animal and you can check out a herd of moose crossing a Minnesota Highway in what is probably one of the most Minnesota videos I've ever seen.
After reading about the accident and seeing the photos of her injuries and her car, it's amazing she's alive! Get access to her story and her page here.
I can honestly say I've only witnessed a live moose in the wild once in my life. It was just outside of Remer, MN on our way back from Walker. He was standing in the ditch near the road lazily chewing his cud not really caring that we had stopped to gawk at him. I guess we were gawking because you just don't see that animal out in their natural habitat very often.
There has been a 50 percent decline in the Minnesota moose population since 2010. Moose in Minnesota are in trouble and, believe it or not, could disappear. If your going to the Great Minnesota Get Together, make sure to look for Minnesota Department of Natural Resources.
Running into a full-grown moose in real life would be terrifying at worst, disconcerting at best. Running into a tiny baby moose, on the other hand, would be adorable. Who knew? Now you know. Enjoy these pictures of little moose calves.
