Motherhood in The Animal World








This baby moose was born in the middle of downtown Naubinway, Michigan. A lady said that in her 33 years in Michigan 's Upper Peninsula, she had never seen a new-born baby moose. She said this one was not even a half-a-mile from her home. The mother picked a small quiet neighbor and had her baby in the front yard just off of US 2, at 5:30 a. m. She and her husband Allen were out bike riding when they came upon the pair. The lady across the street from this house told them that she saw it being born. She said they saw them at 5:30 p.m. The little one was only 12 hours old and stated what an awesome place they live in to see such a site!

  2. Marian,
    Aren't those photos great! My Mom emailed them to me awhile ago. We have moose here in the Eastern UP too but I've never been lucky enough to see one.
    All the best,
