Moose in the Motherland

I know this probably qualifies as 'cute animal pictures', but I'm posting it anyway - it's from The Motherland (Minnesota) and it is too cute!

Baby Moose Born on lawn

How about this at your front door?

Baby Moose 12 Hours Old -
Born in the middle of downtown
Twig, Minnesota

In my 33 years in Minnesota , I have neverseen a newborn baby moose. This one was not even a half mile from our house. The mother picked a small, quiet neighborhood, 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 and fed her baby until the next morning then she ambled back into the woods where she came from.
