Just look at this moose’s tiny antlers. Is he an adolescent or are they just starting to grow in for the year? Apparently, they start growing in the spring or early summer, typically in May or June, and are triggered by the lengthening daylight hours and rising hormone levels in males.
Moose antlers grow rapidly during the summer months, with males able to grow up to an inch of antlers per day. Moose typically shed their antlers in the winter, typically in November or December. By the looks of it, this little fella’s antlers make him about one or two years old.
Watch Out! The Bear Is Running AT Us!
How scary! This is one mean-looking bear and we haven't even mentioned how big and powerful it is. Imagine it was running right towards you while you were spending a day outdoors. It sure is a good thing that this bear is caught on camera and not seen in real life.
From the looks of it, it appears as if the bear is walking right toward the camera. Maybe it can see the shiny lens and wants to take a closer look. It's pretty cool that we live in a time where we can capture this kind of footage on camera.
Buck With a Hat
If you think your hat is weird, here's a new standard for comparison. Just take this young buck for example. His antlers caught a tumbleweed and now that means he's wearing a strange hat, and while it may look like a lovely crown to have, he can't seem to get rid of it.
We've all had our struggles, but as humans, our issues are quite unlike that of wild animals. For one thing, we'll never know what it's like to have a tumbleweed stuck in our antlers. We’re hoping he finds a deer mate that will help him get it off, either with his hooves or with his teeth.
Could This Be an Alien Spaceship?
Pop culture has given us plenty of ideas of what aliens might look like. From the mysterious Greys of "The X-Files," to the flashlight-fingered E.T., and French Stewart in "3rd Rock from the Sun." Were all these examples made up of science fiction stories or were they based on actual evidence?
We don't know, but this photo taken by a trail cam looks eerily like something we'd see in "The X-Files." Or is it that "The X-Files" based their show on footage found by NASA scientists and experts? It looks like there is some strange being in the background. Maybe it's the alien that this spaceship belongs to.
Bear Taking a Bath
Bears are known to be good swimmers, and they do occasionally take a dip in the water to cool off, catch fish or clean themselves. However, bears do not typically take baths in the way that humans do. They groom themselves by licking their fur to remove dirt and debris.
How cute is this? If you've never seen a bear bathing, this footage from this trail cam is as good a look as you'll get. Cooling off like this and soaking in water helps bears keep their fur clean, healthy, and insulated, which is also important for their survival in the wild.
