Moose: Life of a Twig Eater

Season 34 Episode 10 | 53m 10s

There is a growing problem in North America affecting moose. Whether they make their home in the Canadian Rockies or in Minnesota, moose populations are declining at a rapid rate. One reason is that many of the newborn calves are not surviving their first year. In order to find out why, one intrepid cameraman spends a year documenting the life of a moose calf and its mother.
