22nd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Moose calf catching snow flakes

This Moose calf lost its mother when it was about 2 1/2 months old and has been learning how to survive and be a moose all by itself. This is his first winter and he is loving it so far. I came across him trying to catch/bite snow flakes falling from the sky.
