Fish and Game's Carl Koch says a moose cow can be particularly touchy when she has newly born calves — and her most common defense is to stomp on whatever is threatening her calf.
Mother’s Day falls in May, but it’s also when moose cows are giving birth — and experts say we should watch out.
Koch says the cow’s most common defense is to stomp on whatever is threatening her calf. A moose can kick inKoch says that cows frequently leave their calves alone for a day, knowing they will not be able to go far. Sometimes people will find a calf in this situation and assume it is orphaned. Koch remembers one occasion a few years ago in Haines, when people crowded around a calf. He says this probably prevented the mother from reuniting with her newborn.
Cows will generally give birth to their first calf two or three years after their own birth. They will get pregnant in September during the breeding and hunting season, and give birth in mid-May. That makes their pregnancy about the same length as a human mother’s, but they do it almost every year.
