After a couple relatively boring days wildlife-wise at Rocky Mountain National Park, we came across something far more interesting: two moose! Only one is pictured here (for some reason, I feel the need to point this out, as if some of you can’t count).
It’s good that you pointed out that only one Moose is pictured, because I’d be looking for Moose #2

That’s exactly what I was thinking….like a Where’s the Moose post.

Sarah I am hooting out loud at that last remark …. I’m glad you pointed it out – otherwise I’d have been doing a ‘Where’s Choppy’ thing for hours and without my glasses would have been convinced I had found it in the distance!! Love Mr or Mrs Moose wholeheartedly … seeing one is on my bucket list š

You aren’t the only one, at least from the comments!
Good luck seeing the moose – this was Paul’s first, but I’ve been seeing them my whole life while on fishing and canoeing trips. Apparently, I frequent places with moose!

It’s like Kingfisher … I have seen a plethora, my husband not a single one. Right place, right time, right doings I guess

Well, actually, Thank You for pointing out there is only one Moose – or else we’d all be searching your photo for a “Where’s Moose” edition! š
How lovely for you to see them. I believe they are massive animals, though I wouldn’t know, as I’ve never seen one.

I’m glad I pointed it out – I saved a lot of eyes!
Moose are enormous. They make deer look itty-bitty.

Yes I’m very happy you saved us all time searching! Even though you’d think Moose would be too big to miss!

You would think so, but then again, I think they are pros at blending into the woods and avoiding being seen by us. Even more so than Choppy!

That I can understand. At the Addo Elephant Park many years ago, my husband and I could not see any elephants . . . they were hiding in the massive trees!

Wait, this is a ‘find the one moose’ post? Choppy could be jealous that something is stealing her lost/found thunder.

I have to go back through the pics and see if there is a good “find the moose” post – the other one was hiding pretty well. I might have a good one!

Wow, lucky you! We saw a moose in Alaska many years ago but they have eluded us since.

They aren’t the easiest to spot – I’ve happened to frequent some places fishing and canoeing where they are relatively common, so I’m sure I’ve seen more in the wild than the vast majority of people!

I really think that some time I need to go back there. It’s been too long.

Glad you got to see moose. I have never seen one in person, but all wild animals in their natural habitat are fun to see.

I hope you get to see one – they are massive. Usually, I just see them crashing through the brush after they cross a road, or when they see us coming around a bend in the road. These two were content to just hang out while we snapped pics!

We saw lots of moose in Jackson Hole, the traffic came to a standstill as everyone got out of their cars to take photos. We even saw one on the piste. We were going up in a gondola and saw one on the piste, we were safe, but I bet it gave some skiers one hell of a shock!
