Scenes From Alaska, Big Bull Moose Shedding Their Velvet
Welcome to a new MooseMan video about bull moose shedding their velvet.
Before we begin, I’d like to clarify a moose fact today about the start of the rut. An avid and knowledgeable moose fanatic reached out to us about being accurate with our information. It involves the start of the rut. Technically, the rut starts like this.
“The rut is brought on by daylight shrinking everyday. It’s the amount of light hitting the retina of the eye that puts the cows and bulls in rut.”
So by definition the above statement is the start of the rut. We prefer to include the shedding of the velvet, (not the antler growth)….but the shedding of the velvet when antler growth is finished as part of the annual event.
We thought clarifying that is important, so now let’s enjoy today’s feature.
I’d also like to point out, (and I’ve talked about it before), Nature is complex, there are secrets everywhere. Things are constantly going on between animals that may not stand out to us. This applies to all of Nature but specifically on moose, things are constantly happening between them or between them and their surroundings that remain a secret.
Thanks for watching our channel, we are the husband/wife team of Rick and Libby Libbey, (Libby squared), New Hampshire wildlife photographers (and part time Alaska.) It is our passion to document wildlife of any kind, but moose are definitely at the top. In New Hampshire we spend a lot of our spring/summer hours in kayaks photographing loons and moose in the waters of New Hampshire. And hike many miles in Alaska seeking all manner of wildlife in the fall.

I love when they shed their velvet. I don't think they do,however. Grumpy is so precise when he rubs his antlers on a tree. I have seen it in other videos as well. Of course 22 is bedded!!! Love 22❤.Great video. Thank you as always.❤❤🫎🫎☕️☕️👑👑

Have you ever found some velvet laying around? Is it like skin flesh?

[@MooseManNaturePhotos]

Yes we have. i found a bunch of Mismatch's velvet one year. I saved it, it's amazingly soft.

Poor moose, having to go through this every year - it doesn’t hurt, but it itches and looks so scary!🤕🫎❤️🫶
