23rd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Wildlife
Bull moose trio sparring
On a chilly early morning I found a group of seven bull moose. It was late in the rut and they sparred with each other as I watched. Most often two individuals would bang heads, but sometimes they decided that three is the right number. One bull has a broken right antler, but that didn’t deter him.
