"GRAND PRIX JUMPER"

North American Moose - Male

(Southwest of Calgary, Alberta, Canada)

Was heading back home and was approximately half a kilometre from the main highway, when a vehicle passed by at some speed going in the opposite direction. "That's silly I thought to myself, there is the potential for moose and other wildlife on this road and although there are moose crossing signs, they don't always cross there!" Well only seconds later and perhaps thirty metres away, I spotted a female about to cross the road. Caught a few shots (See March 25th blog) and then out of the corner of my eye, caught this fellow about to follow in the female's footsteps. And yes, he followed her exactly which is how I caught him taking the fence in great style.

Warmblood jumpers watch out! There's new competition.
