| General Description : | From the souvenir sheet of 4 stamps, the second in the current multi-year series. Babies are irresistible. It’s Mother Nature’s wise and wily way of ensuring the survival of any species, displaying some endearing youthful trait that will ensure the recognition and emotional response of both parents and animal lovers everywhere. Moose calves, born with reddish fur, remain with their mothers—who are solely responsible for their care—until just before the next calf is born. The mother will instinctively keep her calf hidden until he or she can run fast enough to elude predators. Second only in size to the bison in North America, moose are solitary animals and do not form herds. Normally quite unhurried, a startled or provoked moose can become surprisingly fast and aggressive. During mating season in the fall, the smashing of the enormous, distinctive palmate antlers of the bull moose as they compete for females makes for thunderous, spectacular fights. |
