Young Moose

Alaska, USA

A young moose stands alone along the edge of a forest.

Moose cows may produce their first calf when they are two, and most produce a calf by age three. Cows give birth to one to two calves but rarely have more than two calves. A cow's nutritional condition, or body weight, determines the number of calves born and when a cow first breeds. Moose may continue to breed into their teens. Calves remain with their mother for one year and are driven off shortly before the next calf is born. Bulls are able to breed as yearlings, but most do not breed until they are older when they can compete with other larger bulls. Photo © copyright by Dr. Edward Mikol.
