Twin baby moose in sprinkler

Twin baby moose and mother playing in sprinkler in Anchorage, AK. June 2008

[@arcticsooner]

Moose in the neighborhoods are familiar with people, dogs, cars, etc and will walk away if they don't want to be around but don't generally run away unless they are spooked. This family was in our yard over 12 hours and was quite comfortable with the sounds of summer and children playing. They are wonderful animals and it was a very special day to see them so active. Thanks for the post.

[@mariashaffer-gordon3561]

Thank you for filming this and sharing it with the rest of the world! What a beautiful family.

Are y dumb that thing will fucking kill u

[@lolbots]

a moose will kill your kids, please use your rifle before you regret

[@xhaltsalute]

How wonderful for everyone!

[@Chrisg001]

I got jump scared by one yesterday and she was so close when she started to move away from me then I finally realized this majestic animal was standing feet from me. Scared the crap out of me but I bet she had a good laugh watching me jump!

Momma Moose taking the kiddies to the water park on a hot summer's day. Too cute!

[@bloomcow]

Yeah. It’s so nice to see a couple of twin moose calves and their mother getting wet in the sprinkler.🙂

[@pitgroove.37_66]

It's not often that a moose finds one though

[@karinaf8537]

All animals like to play and have fun

[@karinaf8537]

Its probably also a very refreshing drink

[@laurasutcliffe723]

The way the Mama nudges her baby to go play, as if to say: it's your turn at the recital 🥺💕

[@starlightmuze]

This was so sweet to watch. It was as if the first baby was trying to convince the mom how fun it was and then the mom allowed the second one to come out and play and then she finally stood there just enjoying the moment with her babies.

[@veggiemundo]

Typical children, can't resist the lure of a sprinkler on a summer day! :-) (And that was a nifty soccer move that first baby did with the ball, too!) This is absolutely precious. Thank you for sharing this adorable visit from your lovely wild friends with us!

[@eriknrobyn]

There was a woman who commented on this video on another site. She said that she had a developmentally disabled son who had died, and this song was very special to her because it reminded her so much of her son and how very much she missed him. I will never forget the depth of her feelings that came thru her post; every time I watch this beautiful video, I think of her. Thanks for sharing a bit of God's beauty from your part of the world!

[@Leslieperryscott]

You have to gave ice cubes running in your veins not to adore this peaceful, gentle and innocent moment. This is mine and my friends all time favorites.

[@doriewoodward7608]

So beautiful and that song goes with it perfect

[@watsitallabout]

Looks like playing in the sprinkler is irresistable and transcends all kids from every species! So cute!

[@daniellamalpica]

Animals are the best thing to ever happen to this planet. I can only imagine how amazing it must be to live in a place where moose, deer, bears and other wildlife are respected and adapted to living with human beings. Beautiful video, beautiful song and I also think this is possible the best use of a sprinkler I have ever seen. Congrats :)

[@DaisyMagPieMom]

This is such a great reminder of perfect maternal love-animal or human, we all are happiest when our children are happy. This video is such a rare find and it completely made my day to watch this mama moose watch her babies blissfully enjoying the simplest of things in life.

[@YugeYun]

You're so lucky to witness that.

[@bdog3869]

So awesome to see the twins having such fun. Moms probably thinking ahhhh a moment to relax. ❤️

[@pbrfarm]

My cat Bart and I have to watch this every night now. He knows it so well that he will look in the direction that they will reappear. I have him trained to know the word Moose. Thank you for sharing. This is just as precious and innocent as can be. Brenda and Bart

[@cdub9925]

How is Bart doing now?

[@bartg7790]

@@cdub9925 I'm good, thanks

[@vojaro5669]

They are beautiful. So sweet ... twins!! The mother looks so proud as she should. Mother and babies are gorgeous ... little miracles. They’re having so much fun in the sprinkler. Reminds me of being a kid. We’re all not as different as we think. Very nice video. Thank you.

[@waynejohnson1304]

I saw this when it was placed here in 2008. I told them it would get at least one million views. Here it is at over 5 million in 2020! It is just as touching today as it was in 2008. I'm happy the original music was kept. It is PERFECT for this video.

[@katskye11]

6.1 million today!

[@chrisd6736]

@@katskye11- lol something big must have happened from 2020-2022 for views on this video to have tripled in such a short period of time!

[@irish41000]

They are adorable ! They found water to play in , flowers to eat and mom just followed along , and it sure didn't look like any of them felt threatened at all..even when you told them not to eat the flowers. Thank you for sharing ..please share more & have a wonderful year !

[@Durrpadil]

I would love having them as guests. Adorable :3

[@craftykat12]

So beautiful! It's like a mom bringing her kids to the park to play, lol.

[@ccfcheetah]

It was wonderful to see that mom was with them, and the respect with which they were filmed. Thanks for sharing!

[@malvisc]

Mom, can we go to the sprinkler today?

[@bloomcow]

Of coarse we can. I don’t see why not. It’s a ‘mother and offspring’ thing to do sometimes, especially with twins.🙂

[@gardenofdaisies]

This made my day! Thank you so much for posting it and being so kind to them by letting them play in your yard ♥♥♥

[@arcticsooner]

@Snaarley Hi Snarley, Glad you liked the video! We were standing within 20 feet of them right outside our door. The more enthusiastic little one was running around and getting within 5 feet of us. Take care and God Bless You!

[@raelyngreen9720]

Never get tired of this great opportunity you had to get this video

[@fatgrl1935]

Really beautiful video, and I happen to think Allison Krause's voice is perfect for such a heartwarming scene of 2 babies playing in a sprinkler with a loving mommy standing by watching...

[@MultiSuperkirby]

Excellent choice for video. And awww I NEVER thought they were this cute. How sweet of them just prancing around playing and taking a little bath in process. Nice work.

[@SyverCyber]

Friday, 5/28/10. Wow! It just doesn't get much better than this. Great eye on the camera. Perfect song. How fabulous that you set the sprinkler out for them to cool off and you caught it all on tape. If anyone out there says animals don't have emotion, check out their sheer happiness, joy and pleasure. See how content mama is to see her babies kicking up their heels with glee. I agree with 4Topwood. Best use ever for a lawn sprinkler. You blessed me and made my day. Thank you!

[@STEPHENOLIPHANT]

i still love this video, watch it over and over, and smile every time, and it s one of my favourite songs as well. just love how the mom is so caring, and the little fellas come up to her for a few love touches. just awesome.THANKS SO MUCH.

[@Pg-designsCa]

Beautiful and great choice of tunes!

[@keithwilson6060]

I found it very distracting. Better to have nothing at all, like the song says.

[@AliJaeJR]

So sweet... There's no better word than just amazing when your watching nature at its best... With the mountains in the background at one point ... Just breathtaking to watch this little family.. thanks for sharing..

This is an older moose mum....I bet she always brought her calves to this "moose play ground" Just wonderful.

[@Marty933]

Youngsters (of all types) love sprinklers!

[@gnute9]

I'm glad to see I am not the only one tearing up over this one. Actually, as adorable as mom and her calves are, this song blew me away. Spent the next hour listening to other artists doing their thing with it. Found a few good ones and saved them, including an equally awesome live performance by Alison. huGGs, to arcticsooner for sharing this gem.

[@kmp1066]

Love it!!!! Brought a smile to my face..I miss Alaska a lot...and seeing these beautiful animals..Thanks for posting!

[@ArleneAdkinsZell]

Lovely, needed the smiles. Can imagine it being my yard!

[@BrunoPonceJones]

You ever seen a moose up close, they are huge! No joke one put a big hole in the side of my wife's grandparents house after it charged them while they were out doing yard work in northern mn

[@ArleneAdkinsZell]

We were backpacking in northern Idaho and saw some, it was just the kids and me, so I kept a great distance. Yes they are big, the babes we saw were the size of horses. It would be fun to watch them act like the video. Those are probably accustomed to the neighborhood.

[@akcawa]

I grew up outside of Fairbanks and had many fun afternoons watching moose at play. Thank you for bringing back some awesome memories.

[@KamFoley]

They look like they're having a great time, but why the long face?

The first time I saw this video (& a few times after that) I cried too. Sooo sweet. I haven't been blessed with children of my own but I love that mothers & fathers are sending this video to their kids, both young and adult, and vice versa. Makes you remember what's really important in life. And yeah, that mother is huge, incredible!! Thanks for sharing this video with the world.

There so cute and the song is so heart-warming :')

[@arcticsooner]

About once a month they will come around for a couple of days (:

[@mutehero7]

When the mom showed up, I was genuinely scared.

[@DaPainterDude]

I like how the first baby that comes into view is in a hurry to get to the water park, then you hear momma scream for her baby to get back there and stay with momma, then they all come walking out. Animals are a lot like people, u cant deny it. Also the people that don't think animals have feelings are absolutely positively 500% wrong. This video made my day!! How lucky you are to witness this!! This is definitely "Chicken Soup for the Soul"

[@katieisahufflepuff]

sam winchester, is that you?

[@johnnyboy6429]

What an angel. Why anyone wants to kill these majestic animals I have no idea. Some people are just evil in their hearts.

[@johnnyboy6429]

***** Oh? Grab the rifle and take the kid out for a nice day of shooting? People who buy shotguns to go pigeon hunting, for example. Hunting is BS. You don't think nature can keep animals alive? Good thing humans have been doing the ecosystem for 4.6 billion years, oh wait humans have only been around 40,000 years, the rest nature has done itself quite well. We have an egotism where we think without our intervention nature is screwed. We are wrong.

[@MODERNxWELFARE3]

you eat cow? how bout chicken, or pig. those are "majestic" animals too. those are also killed to feed your ignorant ass.

[@johnnyboy6429]

Ah zack. But the thing is that regardless of if i eat them or not that animal will still be dead so eating it is no doing of mine. Rather i eat it and pray for its soul which i do than some person est half and throw the rest away wastefully.

[@MODERNxWELFARE3]

you clearly have no idea what you're talking about. Upon killing an animal you must take the most amount of meat possible, so therefore your statement is invalid

[@johnnyboy6429]

Im confused as to how much meat is an argument for your side?

[@xx4MissUnderstood4xx]

I enjoyed this video. It's amazing how the twins are completely opposite of one another. One is rambunctious and playful, the other is quiet and reserved.
