Here's a fact I tell everyone, because it blows my mind: orcas are a natural predator of moose. And yes, I looked it up. There are documented cases of orcas hunting and killing moose.
Moose are solitary for most of the year, wandering forests and wetlands and browsing on water plants and tree bark. But mothers are fiercely protective, charging at anything that comes too close to their calves, even bears and wolves.
They're massive, powerful, and surprisingly good swimmers, able to dive close to twenty feet to reach the plants at the bottom of a lake.
Moose are proof that you can be solitary and still deeply connected to the world around you. Independence doesn't mean isolation.
Stay wild,
Chris
