Young Bull Moose Resting, Grand Teton National Park

(Click image to enlarge)

The bull moose (Alces alces) in this photograph is a bit too young to offer serious competition to the larger and older bulls, but he is far from small and in another year or two will be a serious contender for "king of the meadow" and the favors of the ladies. Moose are the largest extant species in the deer family and typically inhabit boreal and mixed deciduous forests in the Northern Hemisphere.
