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.

KNOXVILLE, TN - Mountain lions, also known as cougars, pumas, panthers, painters, and catamounts, are the largest felines in North America.

What you gonna do if you see this coming right at you?. In general, the most dangerous time to encounter a mama bear is when her cubs are nearby. Just a perceived threat is enough to make mama grizz come charging in, slinging paws and claws first, and asking questions later. Her job is to teach the cubs how to survive and thrive out on their own, which generally is until they’re about a year and a half to two years old. Once they hit an age where they can hold their own, they leave mama and fend for themselves.
