Mama moose shows her little one the good stuff

I haven’t done #MooseMonday in a while so here is one back from the first of August in Rocky Mountain National Park.

This was actually my first trip into the park since the East Troublesome Fire burned through. The scenery was a bit jolting and sad, however, Mother Nature adapts and so too had these moose. While some foliage was burned and their options limited, this cow and her calf were eating just fine.

It was interesting to notice the cow grabbing the leafier plants and not really eating the grass; I reckon the leafy stuff provides more sustenance. Her calf was keenly aware of what she was doing and taking note and following suit.
