Shiras Moose of Alces alces Was taken 20 yards from my brother&#039;s cabin in Island Park, Idaho. After munching for several minutes, it bedded down for an afternoon rest for several hours. Its velvet antlers will fully mature then break off in winter.<br /> <figure class="photo"><a href="https://www.jungledragon.com/image/151143/yellowstone_shira_moose_or_alces_alces.html" title="Yellowstone Shira Moose or Alces alces"><img src="https://s3.amazonaws.com/media.jungledragon.com/images/5803/151143_thumb.JPG?AWSAccessKeyId=05GMT0V3GWVNE7GGM1R2&Expires=1759968010&Signature=fom7M7bm98pGUN6uhSgW5G2Z7vY%3D" width="200" height="134" alt="Yellowstone Shira Moose or Alces alces In my brother&#039;s back yard Alces alces,Geotagged,Moose,Summer,United States" /></a></figure><br /> Alces alces,Geotagged,Moose,Summer,United States Click/tap to enlarge Promoted

      It was exciting to be so close to the moose yet it remained so calm. Posted 2 years ago
