Urban Colorado Moose

My husband told me he saw a moose on the way to work. His commute takes him north on Interstate 25. I was sceptical. Sunday morning we drove with our friends Jeth and Todd to Cabela's. Todd spotted the moose first. Leonard pulled to the shoulder. As cars and trucks whizzed past us, oblivious, we watched a bull moose meander along the side of the highway. While not exactly urban, this moose is close to a city. You can see the marshy habitat along a creek that drew the animal to this less-than-isolated location. I took the photos with my cell phone, so they are not spectacular, but you get the idea.  For more info about moose in Colorado, see http://wildlife.state.co.us/WildlifeSpecies/Profiles/Mammals/Pages/Moose.aspx
