As my readers know, occasionally I’ll post wildlife photos here since much of my work contains animals. My debut novel THE PULLER features moose, in a rather creepy way (the poor buggers).
This gigantic moose was filmed in Glacier National Park. He did not have to worry about a stealth creature, only a pesky photographer.
The usually calm lake was choppy, almost like an ocean. I had to position myself flat on my stomach on the rocky shore, with the wind in my face.
The moose was looking right at me.
I was freezing. He didn’t care at all.
Also, be sure to check out my Facebook fan page, which will also contain the latest news as we approach the release date for THE PULLER.
Man, you captures some wonderful images!! Why isn’t the bull moose cold? Or is he cold and just doesn’t give a darn?
Heading off to read the updates on FB!
Thanks, James.
I’m not a moose expert, but I think they really hate heat. I believe that’s one of the reasons for the collapse of the moose in Minnesota.
They spend a lot of time in lakes and bogs cooling off and feeding.
This was the “king” of the valley. He was there for a few minutes, and then I never saw him again.
This is a spectacular shot! Well worth the cold temps! Hope you got some video as well.
Hi Lisa,
No video, unfortunately. Sometimes, you have just have to choose.
