Mother Moose Chases off Grizzly Bear

Occurred on May 2022 / Glacier National Park, Montana, USA “Right outside of Many Glacier Hotel in Glacier National Park, a moose gave birth to two calves. Almost immediately a grizzly began stalking them day and night. Safely from a balcony of the hotel, I’ve been able to record different interactions between the grizzly and moose.”

A cow with calves in Alaska several years ago. I did not see her until I was already between her and her calves. Huge mistake. She could have easily killed me but let me off with a warning bluff. Trust me these are animals you don’t want to mess with, even if you’re a grizz.

She’s like “Oh, you aren’t leaving? Here…let me give you a little encouragement”.

She has two babies! I only saw one with her at the water’s edge. She is huge and a very protective mom. 💞

In my time in the woods here in North Idaho, I think I have more fear/respect for a momma moose with cubs than any other dangerous critter out there. Moose are an amazing, powerful, silent, and dangerous beast.

Anytime there are young involved, there is no animal more driven by instinct than a mother. This momma was going to protect her babies at all cost. I hope she continued to be this successful.
