Encouragement from Mom

We were traveling south on the Parks Highway, between Denali and Wasilla. Coming around a curve we could see a few cars and RV’s stopped in the road. As we approached we could see what the excitement was about. Dee captured the following sequence. A cow moose was crossing the busy highway with her calf. But she chose a route with guard rails which were a major hurdle for the calf. Somehow it had made it over the first rail and was starting across the road to the other side. Mother had gone on but the little calf was confused on how to get over. But Mom came back to the rail and with a little encouragement got the calf to clear the second hurdle so they could safely continue their journey. We were fortunate to witness this young calf’s learning experience.

Way to Go!
