    A moose full of testosterone is like an elephant full of testosterone. They KNOW they're the biggest boys around and they'll happily take the opportunity to kick some human's ass if he rubs him the wrong way. He doesn't have anything against humans PERSONALLY... but he's a giant horned animal who's extremely moody and has a lot to prove. He's not your "friend".
    Fascinating to watch.... from a safe distance!

    When the new antlers grow back in the spring the velvet covering contains the blood flow to feed the new growth until the antlers are fully grown in the fall when they rub the velvet off and the antlers dry and get harder and they use them to fight

    • @Vampirosaurusrex
      @Vampirosaurusrex 10 років тому +13

      All cervids (the clade containing deer) shed their antlers. They have calcified cores covered in skin, but these fall off after the rut. They regrow the antlers before the next rut, hence this behaviour. They scrape the skin off as the core calcifies, giving them bony antlers. That is one of the distinguishing characteristics of the clade.
      Bovids (antelope/cows,bison), on the other hand, have bony antlers that are permanent.

    here we see Sam Winchester eating what he usually eats: leaves. Dean is grabbing a burger. Now he is scratching his head to think because of all the hard research. Dean is once again eating a burger. Now he attempts to finally love himself, but there is something blocking the way. He decides to deal with his emotions the Dean way, suppress them and get more food. He suddenly discovers an internal conflict and deals with it accordingly, suppressing again. Now he dreams about having a future with jess and having a baby moose. Suddenly he wakes up and realizes there is a spoon in his mouth courtesy of Dean. The moose is mad.

  • @BlastFromYesterday
    @BlastFromYesterday 10 років тому +1

    Why do the antlers have velvet and why does it come off? Is it like a snaked shedding so the antlers grow larger?
    And do the antlers have nerves that would make it painful as the velvet comes off?

    • @gregbalvin
      @gregbalvin  10 років тому +2

      BlastFromYesterday The antlers grow new every year and the velvet supplies them with blood as they grow. The antlers are very sensitive until the velvet comes off in mid-august and the bone hardens. The antlers fall off every year around Easter time.

    • @seaflyfisher
      @seaflyfisher 10 років тому +3

      Blast - its the fastest growing bone in the animal kingdom - they shed every year and regrow in 12 to 17 weeks - they will be pretty much the same shape every year but usually with the addition of an extra tine - if you look at the antlers, you can see where the veins were in the velvet which is blood filled tissue - amazing aren't they

      @gregbalvin  6 років тому +1

      Thanks for watching Bob. I don't attend workshops or give them. After 41 years of working with WILD life I no longer post exceptional footage or give locations because of the damage it causes to the animals and the environment. These moose were hunted, killed and eventually hazed out of the area. I feel somewhat responsible for that. I don't post any grizzly footage now that they are hunted, and post limited wolf video and no locations for the same reasons.
