# Moose in the morning - Link: https://mywalkabout.net/moose-in-the-morning/ - Published: 2014-10-16T23:34:00-07:00 - Author: My Walkabout 6am seems to come earlier and earlier for me as the years pass by. Yet 6am it was as I unzipped my tent and shivered at the frosty air outside. There is nothing more refreshing than waking up outside Yellowstone. As I stretch and start quietly packing up my gear for the day, large rocks seem to be slowly moving in the not too far distance. I squint my eyes for a closer look… [[ _“I need coffee…”_ _ This thought permeates my brain as I shrug off the “slow moving rocks”. I then start to notice cars and a few people pointing to the same rock formations. I think it strange to have such hustle and bustle this early in the morning, so I walk over to be a little closer…. [[ A family of moose are making their way towards the campground as they slowly enjoy their morning breakfast of mountain grass. The size of these animals is incredible. I find myself being drawn closer to them, but am fully aware of the potential for aggressive behavior. Just as I make my way to what I think will be a safe and secure spot, a young moose surprisingly leaves the herd and runs full tilt through the campground! Luckily he doesn’t trample any tents ( and the unknowing sleepers they hold ). Ah, the beauty of the animals here. < ### Share this: * [ Email ](https://mywalkabout.net/moose-in-the-morning/?subject=%5BShared%20Post%5D%20Moose%20in%20the%20morning&body=https%3A%2F%2Fmywalkabout.net%2Fmoose-in-the-morning%2F&share=email) * [Post](https://x.com/share) * [Share on Tumblr](https://www.tumblr.com/share) * [ WhatsApp ](https://mywalkabout.net/moose-in-the-morning/?share=jetpack-whatsapp) * [ Nextdoor ](https://mywalkabout.net/moose-in-the-morning/?share=nextdoor) * [ Threads ](https://mywalkabout.net/moose-in-the-morning/?share=threads) * [[ * [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) * [ Reddit ](https://mywalkabout.net/moose-in-the-morning/?share=reddit) ### Like this: Like Loading…
