Good morning! Thursday was a beautiful and mild fall day here in North Pole! We had a high of 65 degrees with mostly sunny skies. Today should be pretty close to the same. With the cool nights and the warm days, the leaves are starting to turn a very pretty yellow and the ground cover a lovely red. Mike and I hope to drive down to Denali tomorrow morning and spend the day photographing the fall foliage, if I am feeling better. If that happens, I will definitely post pictures!
Since it is moose hunting season, here are some interesting facts about moose:
1. Moose are herbivores.
2. The average life span of a moose is 15 to 20 years (unless a hunter finds it first).
3. The height of a moose can range from 5 feet to 7 feet.
4. The weight of a moose can vary from 1000 pounds up to 1800 pounds. That's a lot of meat in the freezer!
5. Rutting season starts the middle of September.
6. Cows give birth to one or two calves. Each calf can weigh 30 pounds at birth.
7. A bull's antlers can get as big as 6 feet in width!
