It's interesting to see how cow moose really fight over a bull moose. Where mule deer does seem to like to play hard to get. Elk bulls really try to control the elk cows and constantly watch them and keep them close by chasing and snaking them. It's cool to see how different they all are when it comes to the mating season.

It is interesting to see the different strategies nature works out for these animals during their annual ruts. Dall sheep are rather merciless with their ewes, while the cow moose obviously run the show. So different. And the elk and deer as well. Great observation, thanks for the comment!

The one cow is coming into standing heat. She’s getting close to ovulating. And the survival of the fittest takes over. The bigger bull showed up and apparently the smaller bull didn’t want an argument. And the same cow is happy, ok with the more dominant bull. Great video. Once in a lifetime video. I witnessed the same thing with White tail deer from a tree stand…… once..

Yup you're right. The bulls dig a pit and get the cows riled up, the pheromones in the bull's urine drives the cows to the point of fighting over the pit. It is believed that triggers estrus, so the bulls have to work to keep the cows close by. And of course, other bulls will try to take advantage while the big boy is off chasing other bulls away. It's an exhausting time for them! Thanks for the comment! Must have been fun to watch from a tree stand with the deer.
I live in Alaska. I have had 6 bull moose fighting together in my yard. I have 18 moose in my yard bulls and cows alike. Right now I have 3 bulls, 1 cow, 2 females with babies. The bigger bulls are trying to kick the babies out to breed again with the cows.
I have never seen 5 mooses all together in a single video, 2 males and 3 females. Amazing footage you have captured. Thank you for sharing.

Grreetings to you in South Africa! Thank you for being here. It is truly amazing that moose do NOT make more vocalizations. They're so huge you'd think they would, right? We have seen several videos and high end productions of wildlife (BBC, etc) who get it all wrong with the moose, they insert these horrible bear sounds. It's comical to those of us who know moose and spend months with them. They grunt and whine but that's about it. Occasionally the cow will make a short bark sound at a calf. We have yet to get that on film. But have certainly heard it a few times. And we haven't seen a documentary that has caught it either. Anyway, great question. And thank you for asking it! Welcome!
Haha! The first bull said "F" it! These girls aren't worth fighting "Debo" for.

Usually the bulls have to seek out the cows, this herd of cows thing is a phenomenon that happens in Alaska, I guess from the sheer numbers of moose. We think it's a riot that the cows fight over the rut pit and want nothing to do with the bull. Yet. Give them a week!

I think the first bull was probably a senior bull. He had great body size, but his rack was not as big as it has probably been during his lifetime. That other monster bull was in his full prime. Who wouldn't have given up the field?
@MooseManNaturePhotos
Жыл бұрын
So the kind of thin bull with the really wide rack is the very senior bull. He is a fighter/warrior and he won this one against an up and coming younger bull whose rack is absolutely crazy fun with stuff going on. But again, the older, wiser bull bested the younger one because he had uphill/high ground advantage. So interesting, because it was really an even match other than that! Thanks for the comment and for watching, Cindy!

It seems unfair that they don't have tails, I know! They get bitten by bugs on their back legs that a tail would help with. But once you realize where they live, you'd also realize a tail wouldn't work in that thick growth and bogs and such. They had probably rotted off and over thousands of years wasted away completely.
Do you have two types of antlers there too? We have two types in Sweden: the "sticks" and the "showels". It seems to me that the first bull is a "stick" and the second bull is a "showel".

This is too human-like lol The hotshot bull is flirting with all the cows, and the one cow who is chasing the other girls away is serious in love with the hotshot. Yet, hotshot bull is sniffing on the other cows behind the back of the devoted cow. She chases them away again...as if urging the hotshot to be devoted! Hotshot still plays around, until the BIG SHOT shows up. Hotshot flees, and the devoted cow attempts to cozy up to the Big Shot. Just like in real life, don't waste your time with players, and don't get into petty cat fights over someone who'll flee.

HI there, we welcome the question. The depression is called a rut pit. Get ready cuz this is strange but very true. Every years during the rut (mating season), bulls dig pits, urinate in them (it's how they advertise ), the bull will lie in it to get the mud all over himself and the cows will actually fight to do the same. There is usually a pecking order among the females and that is what you were watching, so yes....it's a thing. Thanks for your question.
