You are, as usual, correct sir. He didn't really have a problem getting out of the ditch, he just wanted nothing to do with that big long strip of black stuff. Until Momma convinced him it was okay. Then he was fine once he hit grass again. Pretty neat.
The calves get on their feet as soon as they're born. The cow knows that the smell of the afterbirth draws predators. That calf is probably no more than 5 to 10 hours old. I've seen young moose come out of a wet hole or pond, and go ass over bandbox in the middle of a hot top road. Doesn't hurt them, as they still taste good.
Obviously has dealt with moose before. Started backing up right away when Mama started getting the slightest bit agitated.
ReplyDeleteDid that calf just get it's feet or are they that klutzy for quite a while after calving?
ReplyDeleteProbably just spooky seeing its first road, then didn't know what to make of the hard surface.
