The email I received was from a good friend, and this "apparently" happened in Twig, MN. Yes, yes, this might be totally somewhere else, but so what? Here it is:
In my 33 years in Minnesota, I have never seen a newborn baby moose. This one was not even a half mile from our house. The mother picked a small, quiet spot, and had her baby in a front yard just off of US 53, at 5:30 am.
Joe and I were out bike riding when we came upon the pair.The lady across the street from this house told us she saw it being born. We saw them at 5:30 PM. So the little one was 12 hours old.
What an awesome place we live in to see such a sight.
She stood guard until the next morning, then she just ambled off into the wooded area where she came from. |
