This big fella is a moose. Such a beautiful animal.

Mainland moose are native to Nova Scotia, and they're different from the ones found on Cape Breton Island. The CB moose were brought in from Alberta is the 1940’s.

In the early 1900s, thousands of mainland moose roamed Nova Scotia. By the 1930s, there were only around 3,200 left, a number that fell to 1,000 by the early 2000s.

It is illegal to hunt mainland moose, which were listed as endangered in 2003.
