There is a lesson in here somewhere


While wandering through the Yukon I observed more than once pictures like this one. Therefore this is not a singular occurrence. To quote Cool Hand Luke "what we have here is a failure to communicate". Two bull moose get in a territorial dispute and start butting heads.

Sometimes they lock and the unfortunate moose can not unlock them. The result is a death by starvation or being eaten by lesser predators taking advantage of the situation.

Note in the background of this picture the photograph of the full skeleton's of the moose. Some conflicts are futile and some noble. However before entering one it is best to think it through to keep from locking your horns up and not being able to undo that action.
