Shiras Moose

Alces alces sherasi syn. Alces americanus sherasi

Description:

This is the second moose sighting I had on my recent backpacking trip. Early morning at camp, while I was making my coffee, I heard splashing in the river nearby. When went towards to river to see was it was we found this moose frolicking up and down the river in a very playful manner! It was quite the sight. He let us watch him for a while from a very close distance. It definitely was the highlight of the trip.

Habitat:

Alpine forest wilderness area in river near large pristine lake.
