I had to share these pics with you all. We went for a drive to Brainard lake near Netherland, Co. and saw these beautiful guys.(I guess they are both guys.
Thanks for looking. I know the pics are a little blurry but I was soooo excited to see them.

Thanks for posting these great photos! I didn't know there were black moose, just assumed they were all brown. How would we like to be a moose and have to maneuver through the brush with all that head gear? Wow!

The ones here are actually a dark gray (charcoal) and not black. They are absolutely huge, strong and are able to push their way easily through most any foliage. No problem. Wink

Great pics! TFS

I love seeing moose altho haven't seen any here for a couple of years. Dangerous animals tho, give them a wide berth! They can demolish a vehicle.

WOW- great pictures!!! My brother/his family saw a moose this summer in the Adirondacks. They are such huge animals and all because they eat greens which I never knew Smile

Great photos! They are beautiful but so huge. I remember about 30 years ago there was a neighborhood bar I used to go to after work sometimes to meet friends. Right above the entry was a mounted moose head from the shoulders up. I could never get over how huge that thing was. They must be 8-9 feet tall!

Sadly, that was my only encounter with a moose.
