A moose cow and calf are seen together while browsing in the fall in Denali national park in Alaska.

Moose Cow and Calf

Alaska, USA

Moose calves are born in spring with reddish coats, weighing about 30–35 lbs. They grow rapidly, gaining up to 2 lbs daily on rich milk. While they start by nursing, calves quickly begin foraging for twigs and vegetation. They stand within hours, staying with their mothers for about a year, learning to forage and avoid predators. They are fiercely protected by cows. They leave the mother just before new calves are born.
