Moose in the neighborhoods are familiar with people, dogs, cars, etc and will walk away if they don't want to be around but don't generally run away unless they are spooked. This family was in our yard over 12 hours and was quite comfortable with the sounds of summer and children playing. They are wonderful animals and it was a very special day to see them so active. Thanks for the post.
I got jump scared by one yesterday and she was so close when she started to move away from me then I finally realized this majestic animal was standing feet from me. Scared the crap out of me but I bet she had a good laugh watching me jump!
This was so sweet to watch. It was as if the first baby was trying to convince the mom how fun it was and then the mom allowed the second one to come out and play and then she finally stood there just enjoying the moment with her babies.
Animals are the best thing to ever happen to this planet. I can only imagine how amazing it must be to live in a place where moose, deer, bears and other wildlife are respected and adapted to living with human beings. Beautiful video, beautiful song and I also think this is possible the best use of a sprinkler I have ever seen. Congrats :)
Typical children, can't resist the lure of a sprinkler on a summer day! :-) (And that was a nifty soccer move that first baby did with the ball, too!) This is absolutely precious. Thank you for sharing this adorable visit from your lovely wild friends with us!
There was a woman who commented on this video on another site. She said that she had a developmentally disabled son who had died, and this song was very special to her because it reminded her so much of her son and how very much she missed him. I will never forget the depth of her feelings that came thru her post; every time I watch this beautiful video, I think of her. Thanks for sharing a bit of God's beauty from your part of the world!
My cat Bart and I have to watch this every night now. He knows it so well that he will look in the direction that they will reappear. I have him trained to know the word Moose. Thank you for sharing. This is just as precious and innocent as can be. Brenda and Bart
This is such a great reminder of perfect maternal love-animal or human, we all are happiest when our children are happy. This video is such a rare find and it completely made my day to watch this mama moose watch her babies blissfully enjoying the simplest of things in life.
They are beautiful. So sweet ... twins!! The mother looks so proud as she should. Mother and babies are gorgeous ... little miracles. They’re having so much fun in the sprinkler. Reminds me of being a kid. We’re all not as different as we think. Very nice video. Thank you.
They are adorable ! They found water to play in , flowers to eat and mom just followed along , and it sure didn't look like any of them felt threatened at all..even when you told them not to eat the flowers. Thank you for sharing ..please share more & have a wonderful year !
I saw this when it was placed here in 2008. I told them it would get at least one million views. Here it is at over 5 million in 2020! It is just as touching today as it was in 2008. I'm happy the original music was kept. It is PERFECT for this video.
@Snaarley Hi Snarley, Glad you liked the video! We were standing within 20 feet of them right outside our door. The more enthusiastic little one was running around and getting within 5 feet of us. Take care and God Bless You!
Excellent choice for video. And awww I NEVER thought they were this cute. How sweet of them just prancing around playing and taking a little bath in process. Nice work.
Friday, 5/28/10. Wow! It just doesn't get much better than this. Great eye on the camera. Perfect song. How fabulous that you set the sprinkler out for them to cool off and you caught it all on tape. If anyone out there says animals don't have emotion, check out their sheer happiness, joy and pleasure. See how content mama is to see her babies kicking up their heels with glee. I agree with 4Topwood. Best use ever for a lawn sprinkler. You blessed me and made my day. Thank you!
My grandma sent me an email with a link to this video when I was nine... she passed away less than a year later and this is my first time watching this since. I'm crying now. Thank you for leaving this video up for so long! ❤️
You ever seen a moose up close, they are huge! No joke one put a big hole in the side of my wife's grandparents house after it charged them while they were out doing yard work in northern mn
We were backpacking in northern Idaho and saw some, it was just the kids and me, so I kept a great distance. Yes they are big, the babes we saw were the size of horses. It would be fun to watch them act like the video. Those are probably accustomed to the neighborhood.
I agree. One of the BEST! I come back again and again to watch it over and over. I show it to everyone. This video is the reason I am on UA-cam at all. Thank you so much for putting it online.
PERFECT song choice depicting a Mother's LOVE in such a BEAUTIFUL and TOUCHING video. Love NATURE and your video shows me WHY. Thanks again so much for posting it for all to see.
I live in Anchorage and had a momma moose come every year with her baby's for 8 years. It is sad to not see her anymore and her baby's come great us. I sure miss them all!
Someone on facebook shared this video with me just moments ago. This must have been such an amazing thing to witness! You are blessed to be surrounded by so much beauty!
***** Oh? Grab the rifle and take the kid out for a nice day of shooting? People who buy shotguns to go pigeon hunting, for example. Hunting is BS. You don't think nature can keep animals alive? Good thing humans have been doing the ecosystem for 4.6 billion years, oh wait humans have only been around 40,000 years, the rest nature has done itself quite well. We have an egotism where we think without our intervention nature is screwed. We are wrong.
Ah zack. But the thing is that regardless of if i eat them or not that animal will still be dead so eating it is no doing of mine. Rather i eat it and pray for its soul which i do than some person est half and throw the rest away wastefully.
you clearly have no idea what you're talking about. Upon killing an animal you must take the most amount of meat possible, so therefore your statement is invalid
I enjoyed this video. It's amazing how the twins are completely opposite of one another. One is rambunctious and playful, the other is quiet and reserved.
The first time I saw this video (& a few times after that) I cried too. Sooo sweet. I haven't been blessed with children of my own but I love that mothers & fathers are sending this video to their kids, both young and adult, and vice versa. Makes you remember what's really important in life. And yeah, that mother is huge, incredible!! Thanks for sharing this video with the world.
Dear Arctic: still my favorite youtube video of all time. Just posted the link again on FB in celebration of Mother's Day. Again, everything about it is perfect to me. Happy Mother's Day.!
Thanks for brightening my day with this lovely video! I've never seen a moose in person, so this was the closest I've been. Absolutely breathtaking when mama moose comes out!!
I too love this video!!! I smile so much when I watch it that my cheeks hurt. I always watch it when I'm going through a rough time and my troubles don't seem so bad after.
I showed this video to my father, who lives in Alaska, and he noted that the mama's back hair is standing straight up. She's on high alert to any possible threat against her babies; this is definitely the time to keep one's distance. Of course, with a moose, any time is the time to keep one's distance. A very cute video and wisely filmed from inside the house!
I love the video, and the music is so beautiful and perfect for it. It is Alison Krauss singing "When You Say Nothing at All." I just wish that I had wonderful animals like those near my home.
Thank you for sharing, made me smile, was crying hearing the news that another 2 year old child died in Florida after being left in the car, so unbelievable senseless.
i was taking a pee up in the mountains in colorado behind a bush and heard a noise... it was a giant moose he must have been 8 feet tall, he saw me and was chill. priceless memory
Don't listen to the negative comments! I love your video. These majestic animals deserve human kindness and you gave it to them. It is nice to see someone being kind to animals and appreciating nature. Allison Kraus is an excellent musician and I appreciate her song. Don't let mean people that say ugly things bother you. I hope you can film more of these beautiful creatures!
Oh my god the baby meese r soooo dang cute. U r very nice for letying them play in your yard and not bother them this is just so precious i think even meese babies like to play in the sprinkler system
I'm privileged to have seen twin calves in the wild in Alaska. Momma is always near... Never get between her and the babies. She's got a mean right hoof!
holy mother, i didnt know that moose were that big! this is the most adorable video ever, the little babies look like they are just having the time of their life :)
Thank you for sharing and THANK-YOU for putting the sprinkler on ........... You have not only make the animal happy but us , too,who watch this video.....

Are y dumb that thing will fucking kill u
a moose will kill your kids, please use your rifle before you regret
How wonderful for everyone!

Looks like playing in the sprinkler is irresistable and transcends all kids from every species! So cute!

You're so lucky to witness that.
Momma Moose taking the kiddies to the water park on a hot summer's day. Too cute!
Yeah. It’s so nice to see a couple of twin moose calves and their mother getting wet in the sprinkler.🙂
It's not often that a moose finds one though
All animals like to play and have fun
Its probably also a very refreshing drink
So awesome to see the twins having such fun. Moms probably thinking ahhhh a moment to relax. ❤️
They are adorable ! They found water to play in , flowers to eat and mom just followed along , and it sure didn't look like any of them felt threatened at all..even when you told them not to eat the flowers. Thank you for sharing ..please share more & have a wonderful year !
I grew up outside of Fairbanks and had many fun afternoons watching moose at play. Thank you for bringing back some awesome memories.
I saw this when it was placed here in 2008. I told them it would get at least one million views. Here it is at over 5 million in 2020! It is just as touching today as it was in 2008. I'm happy the original music was kept. It is PERFECT for this video.
6.1 million today!
@@katskye11- lol something big must have happened from 2020-2022 for views on this video to have tripled in such a short period of time!
@Snaarley Hi Snarley, Glad you liked the video! We were standing within 20 feet of them right outside our door. The more enthusiastic little one was running around and getting within 5 feet of us. Take care and God Bless You!
Never get tired of this great opportunity you had to get this video
This made my day! Thank you so much for posting it and being so kind to them by letting them play in your yard ♥♥♥
Mom, can we go to the sprinkler today?
Of coarse we can. I don’t see why not. It’s a ‘mother and offspring’ thing to do sometimes, especially with twins.🙂
Excellent choice for video. And awww I NEVER thought they were this cute. How sweet of them just prancing around playing and taking a little bath in process. Nice work.

Feel kinda silly for getting excited when I see a different bird at the feeder.
This is touching I love animals
And moose as you can see
Same, so fluffy and cute.♥♥♥
My grandma sent me an email with a link to this video when I was nine... she passed away less than a year later and this is my first time watching this since. I'm crying now. Thank you for leaving this video up for so long! ❤️
Absolutely precious. Thank you for providing them with a place to frolic.
Beautiful and great choice of tunes!
I found it very distracting. Better to have nothing at all, like the song says.
This is just lovely to see these Moose playing great video
The plural of moose is meece.
@@KamFoley no it's not.
They look like they're having a great time, but why the long face?
Cleetus 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hahahaha
Kam You wit, you. Love it.
It's god's, hahaha
How wonderful to be able to watch this! Thank you for recording and sharing!
@Samjapa Allison Krauss, When You Say Nothing at all, She's on UA-cam and her music is fantastic. Thanks for the question!
Lovely, needed the smiles. Can imagine it being my yard!

This is just too precious... love it!! Thanks for sharing!!
Love it!!!! Brought a smile to my face..I miss Alaska a lot...and seeing these beautiful animals..Thanks for posting!
Love nature, love the music - gives me goosebumps EVERYTIME i watch this - The world is wonderful sometimes :)
I have to agree. But only sometimes.... (I got tears from the kids) JL
I live in Anchorage and had a momma moose come every year with her baby's for 8 years. It is sad to not see her anymore and her baby's come great us. I sure miss them all!
They're so playful! Not very often you get to see moose up close and so carefree like that.
Iv'e watched this twenty times over the years and still love it with the music. Please don't ever remove!!!!! Russ Largo, Fl
They are so cute
WorkSmartNotHard
Ehy t
I really wish the plural of moose was meese.
mice?
How about moosen?
Mooses
Moses
Yes
Shocked to see this was 15 years ago😄 Absolutely loved it! Best video ever of moose and babies. Excellent recording job, too.
Someone on facebook shared this video with me just moments ago. This must have been such an amazing thing to witness! You are blessed to be surrounded by so much beauty!
Take a break from all those cat videos and enjoy a moose video instead. You're welcome!
enjoyed. very nice. congratulation. Valdison rezende. Brasil
Just a regular outing to the water park :)
OH BABY MOOSE YOU GOT WHAT I NEED
Great video, you were given a gift on this day!!! Thanks for sharing this innocence!! :')
this is literally the nicest interaction I have ever seen in youtube comments. you guys are awesome.
We've never had anything like this happen in our backyard...
Sam Winchester when he was younger
What an angel. Why anyone wants to kill these majestic animals I have no idea. Some people are just evil in their hearts.
***** Oh? Grab the rifle and take the kid out for a nice day of shooting? People who buy shotguns to go pigeon hunting, for example. Hunting is BS. You don't think nature can keep animals alive?

you eat cow? how bout chicken, or pig. those are "majestic" animals too. those are also killed to feed your ignorant ass.
Ah zack. But the thing is that regardless of if i eat them or not that animal will still be dead so eating it is no doing of mine. Rather i eat it and pray for its soul which i do than some person est half and throw the rest away wastefully.
you clearly have no idea what you're talking about. Upon killing an animal you must take the most amount of meat possible, so therefore your statement is invalid
Im confused as to how much meat is an argument for your side?
So precious. How lucky that you get to see things like that. It's just beautiful
Thank you. All Mamas and Babies deserve to be safe and have fun.
If this doesn't warm what heart you have left, you're dead.
I LOVE this music. So there. :P
I enjoyed this video. It's amazing how the twins are completely opposite of one another. One is rambunctious and playful, the other is quiet and reserved.
That is AMAZING. You are so blessed to be able to witness something like this.
So cute im actually crying BTW good video :-)
The first time I saw this video (& a few times after that) I cried too. Sooo sweet.
I haven't been blessed with children of my own but I love that mothers & fathers are sending this video to their kids, both young and adult, and vice versa. Makes you remember what's really important in life.
And yeah, that mother is huge, incredible!!
Thanks for sharing this video with the world.
@PepperJudi so glad you enjoyed it. Neighborhood moose are so special to me. Spring is here and calves are on the way:)
Too precious!
When the mom showed up, I was genuinely scared.
makes me tear up and grin at the same time...wonderful choice of music too
Dear Arctic: still my favorite youtube video of all time. Just posted the link again on FB in celebration of Mother's Day. Again, everything about it is perfect to me. Happy Mother's Day.!
Beautiful!

How cute!!!
Thank you for this adorable video full of joy. They are so cute.

Baby animals need acoustic guitars...
The simpler things in life like a sprinkler in the yard and baby moose running around makes life enjoyable!
Nice video and great sound track, appropriate!
I love the video, and the music is so beautiful and perfect for it. It is Alison Krauss singing "When You Say Nothing at All." I just wish that I had wonderful animals like those near my home.

MEESE!!
what do Moose have to say regarding this?
*Algonquin
they are so cute, ur so lucky to see this. its a once and a lifetime chance to see something like tis.
i was taking a pee up in the mountains in colorado behind a bush and heard a noise... it was a giant moose he must have been 8 feet tall, he saw me and was chill. priceless memory
Mother was hot and panting, so, yes, I did turn it on for them (:
The song makes me want to jump of a very high cliff.
😂
Tactical operator run n gun duracoat master of the deserts of Utah same here😩😩😁😁😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Tacical,maybe you need some medication!
AGREE
..that song is awesome , she's a great singer
You think you could reupload this without that stupid, annoying song drowning out the sounds of the moose in the sprinkler?
This makes me remember he simple things in life and feel the joy of living. You are blessed to have these wonderful creatures so near.
Don't listen to the negative comments! I love your video. These majestic animals deserve human kindness and you gave it to them. It is nice to see someone being kind to animals and appreciating nature. Allison Kraus is an excellent musician and I appreciate her song. Don't let mean people that say ugly things bother you.

There so cute and the song is so heart-warming :')
I remember playing in the sprinkler in summer time. Those beautiful lazy days ❤️
This brought a smile to my face:) I wish the world would be as peace

This video makes me smile every time I watch
