Face to Face
These two moose are 'play fighting' or sparring. During the annual moose rut (or mating season), things get decidedly more violent and injuries occur.
Once the rut is over, the males can't seem to help themselves and regularly test out the antlers on their head by going face to face with another male!
I have some great images from my recent stay in Jackson Hole - stay tuned!
In the meantime, here are some great images made by local Jackson photographer Packy aka. Greek Mountain Man. I had the pleasure of going out to photograph the moose (and other critters) with him. Look him up when you're in the Tetons!
