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.

Crab apples, those dollhouse-sized miniatures of your favorite apples, are safe enough to eat, but if you've ever popped one into your mouth, your first thought may be: Why would you even want to? Chalk that response up to the fact that these teensy weensy apples taste sour at best and bitter at worst, despite being cousins to the apples you do eat. They hail from the plant genus, Malus, a part of the Rosaceae family. Yep. Apples of all sorts, including crab apples, are part of the rose family, which may explain why people grow crab apple trees.
