It was\u00a0 great opportunity to photograph it at a decent distance.<\/p>\n<p>All young moose are born in the spring. The cows (mother moose) become pregnant in the fall, usually late September or early October. After only a few days a moose calf is capable of outrunning a human. Moose gain weight at an incredible rate in the first year of life. A calf will gain more than one pound a day in the spring and later will have weight gain of over 4 pounds a day. When born, calves are dark brown in color, almost black. When moose are born they are completely helpless. A single born baby moose calf will weight around 30 pounds while twins will weight somewhat less at about 14 pounds. At this time they are completely vulnerable to predators. To protect her calf, the cow will keep her calf completely hidden for several days.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_15508\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-15508\" style=\"width: 1500px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/tkahler.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/20200201-yellowstone-np-407-edit.jpg\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"15508\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/tkahler.com\/blog\/2020\/02\/young-moose\/young-moose-2\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/tkahler.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/20200201-yellowstone-np-407-edit.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1500,1000\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;8&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;Terry B.
