Mama moose nurses calf in a pond!

A Mama Moose has been traveling our neck of the woods with her very young calf. They are almost always close together with the calf right on his mom's heels.

The two of them have delighted me with their cute and funny behavior in front of my trail cams. One day recently, they waded into a pond, nibbled on bushes, drank some water, and then the calf started nursing. This was before the calf started nursing.
 

This will be the first of several videos of them. Enjoy!

    Mama and baby moose seem very calm and content paddling in their pond.

    Baby: This water isn't as good as my Mama's milk.
    Mama: Damn, I thought I got her weaned onto grass and water.

    Sweet! I was happy to hear that the moose are doing better around here this year, due to a thankfully lower tick population.
