EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, a majestic bull moose (Alces alces shirasi) gracefully forages in a summer meadow, its massive velvet antlers adorned with the soft, pliable covering that characterizes this stage of growth. The moose, also known as the Shiras moose or shiras dancer, is the subspecies native to the western United States and Canada. The bull moose's antlers, which can weigh up to 30 pounds, are not only impressive in size but also play a crucial role in the animal's mating season. During this time, the bulls engage in elaborate displays of dominance, using their antlers to spar with rivals and attract females. The velvet antlers, covered in a rich, red-brown velvet, provide the growing bones and tissue with essential nutrients and protection. As the summer progresses, the velvet begins to dry and harden, eventually revealing the bone beneath. This striking image, captured by renowned nature photographer Ken Archer, offers a rare glimpse into the life of this magnificent creature in its natural habitat. The serene setting, with the moose surrounded by lush greenery and dappled sunlight filtering through the trees, emphasizes the harmony between the animal and its environment. As the bull moose continues to forage, it embodies the strength, grace, and resilience of nature. This photograph serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of preserving the habitats and populations of these magnificent creatures, ensuring their survival for future generations to enjoy.
