No antlers. I can't tell if it's a male or a female. But on the assumption it's the former, I'll go with:

I hope that following the moose in the boat to take pictures didn't cause her to get tired from having to swim more avoiding the boat following her. I really enjoyed these pictures but just want to also mention that we need to be concerned about how we address these lovely creatures in their habitat.

It looks to me like the moose isn't swimming away from the photog. Moose can swim for miles. Their hollow fur helps them float. They are very good swimmers. Nor does it look like the camera boat is too close. I address them, "Hello Mr. Moose".

:)
I did look at the other photos and she did appear to be changing direction and you can see a part of the boat in one photo. I don't mean to imply this is what happened, and I also didn't want to sound soap boxish (is that a word?) just general thoughts and concerns. I know they can swim quite far, how far had she gone before ths photos? Not trying to create a problem and let's get back to the captions :)

Hate to be a skeptic, but it looks to me like a dog with a moose head photoshopped onto it.

That moose has a deer caught in the headlights look....
He better not be going over 45 in that thing or Im sure Marine patrol will ticket him/her

My husband thinks it was photoshopped, but only because we joke that moose are a myth. I have been coming up to the lake for longer than I care to mention, but my entire life and have never once seen a moose.
We left for Jersey on Sunday. My theory is that all the moose leave when I enter the state and this one was in a real hurry to get back home once I left!

After failing the Olympic Aquatic Ballet Team try-outs, Myles decided that distance-swimming was his calling.

"...I really enjoyed these pictures but just want to also mention that we need to be concerned about how we address these lovely creatures in their habitat..."
Concerned? Me too. :cool:
Right here on the lake, a moose will swim by every few years. When they start out on a swim, only their heads and necks are above water. As soon as a boater approaches, then the back of the moose will appear above the water. (Indicating an increase in effort and stress). :(
now we have to worry about moose itch!

Moose Island is southeast of Rattlesnake Island.
We cruised by there today but didn't see any moose. :)

it would seem to me that in safetys sake the State should have the marine patrol install some "Moose Croosing" signs in the area!:laugh:

Mr. Moose is looking for Captain Kangaroo and Bunny Rabbit...:rolleye2:
We had family visiting from Auburn, NY and they were asking if there were any moose around. That answers that question!

Spotted by the marine patrol, he planned to use the excuse that he was only traveling at head way speed.
