Moose Cow.

A moose cow with a calf is reputedly one the very most dangerous animals in wild Alaska. This one had 2 calves with her, which probably makes her doubly dangerous! It's rare to see 2 calves make it through the entire summer after they're born in the spring, as wolf and bear predation is quite high. I didn't want to take any chances with this ornery mother, so I shot with a long telepohoto lens and kept my distance. Taken in Denali National Park, Alaska.
