For those not well versed in moose facts, the shedding of antlers is normally a fairly lengthy process. It happens only once a year after mating season and usually consists of a moose losing one antler at a time. It’s incredibly rare for a bull moose to lose both at the same time—and even more rare that someone would actually catch it on film. That’s why shed hunter (yes, that’s a real term) and woodsman Derek Burgoyne calls his footage of the phenomenon a “one-in-a-million” shot.

People have long been fascinated by the idea of a graveyard of the elephants, a hidden place in the jungle where they instinctively all go to die. Such a graveyard would be a veritable golconda for the ivory hunters, who could freely enrich themselves upon countless thousands of elephant tusks; and perhaps the allure of this idea is why the concept can be found in pulp magazines during the era of European ivory imports.
