Moose sightings in southeast Saskatchewan have become quite frequent.
This youngster was spotted wandering in the field by Highway 18 not far from Oungre.
Moose can develop a speed of up to 60 kilometres per hour and may weigh up to 680 kilos.
Now that the spring is here, expecting cow moose will greet their newborns. The first months of life for young calves are the most dangerous.
When threatened cows will vigorously defend their offspring using hard, sharp hooves and a powerful kick as weapons.
While seeing such an amazing creature in its natural habitat is always exciting, coming across one on the highway or getting too close to one may result in a tragedy, so watch out.
