Cow moose have a lot to say around the rutting pit

Welcome to a fun new video from the MooseMan team.
This one is a real source of laughter, and you may want to turn up the volume for this one, as the sounds are as important as what you see.

For all of you who are long-time followers and subscribers, you may remember Moaning Mona with the bull named Sarge from a few years ago. We’d like to introduce you to Mona II.
This bull is new to us this year, and we’re calling him Rootbeer (the explanation of his name will come later). He’s young but very experienced for his age. He’s also tougher than he looks. Imagine him in a few years’ time, he could be trouble.

For those of you new to the world of moose, this video is devoted entirely to the “rut pit. To explain briefly… the rutting pit is an important part of the rutting season. The bull moose digs a pit and urinates in it, then splashes the muddy earth of the pit over himself by trampling the ground with his antlers and hooves. And finally, the cow or cows come running and fight to get hold of the pit and lie down in it. In short, moose communicate chemically with each other.

Thanks for checking out our channel, we’re the husband/wife team of Rick and Libby Libbey, (Libby squared), New Hampshire wildlife photographers (and part-time Alaskans.) It’s our passion to document wildlife of all kinds, but elk are definitely at the top. In New Hampshire, we spend many of our spring and summer kayaking hours photographing loons and elk in New Hampshire waters. And travel many miles in Alaska in search of all kinds of wildlife in autumn.
