Giant moose shedding its velvet

Giant moose shedding its velvet Thank you for joining us today for this video. If you haven’t yet subscribed to our channel, we’d be grateful if you did, especially if you love moose! Today, we explore the beginning of the rut. Most of the time, moose do three things: eat, rest and move between feeding and resting areas. But every year, in August, something magical happens… the rut! Drop Tine, MisMatch and 22 appear in this video, and the first sign that rutting has begun is the loss of velvet from their huge antlers. It’s fascinating that these animals can grow these huge antlers every year, but once they’ve finished growing for the season, it’s time for the velvet to fall off. This video shows the different stages of the moulting process. At 1 minute 06 seconds, we see the first sign of velvet cracking on a tooth, just as molting is about to begin. At 1 minute 15 seconds, the same bull is seen the next morning, vigorously raking to shred its velvet. Finally, at 2:45 seconds, we see the same bull (left) two days later with a clean rack and no velvet. Some bulls are more gifted than others. Some bulls can walk around for weeks with strands of dried velvet hanging from the tip of an antler.Thanks for watching our channel, we’re the husband/wife team from Rick and Libby Libbey(Libby squared), New Hampshire wildlife photographers (and part-time Alaskans.) It’s our passion to document wildlife in all its forms, but the momentum is definitely at the top. In New Hampshire, we spend many of our spring and summer kayaking hours photographing loons and elk in New Hampshire waters. In the autumn, we travel many miles in Alaska in search of all kinds of wildlife.Find out more about Nikon/Sony equipment, techniques and wildlife.We sell prints of our images on canvas, metal, framed, as well as related products: t-shirts, hats, mugs, puzzles, books and more – which you’ll find on our website.Here’s our information:You can watch more videos on this link.Youtube : https://bit.ly/YTMooseManSiteweb: https://bit.ly/WebMooseManInstagram: https://bit.ly/IGMooseManNOUVEAU* Twitter: https://bit.ly/TWMooseManNOUVEAU* Pinterest: https://bit.ly/PTMooseMan#moosephotography #mooseofinstagram #wildlifephotographer #alaska #alaskatravel #naturephotographylovers #naturephotography #wildlifephotographer #moosephotography #MooseMonday #moosemafia #AlaskaWildlife #alaskawinter #AlaskaWildlife #moosemooseRick and Libby Libbey ownersAndover, NH 03216source
