Photo: Cow Moose Tuckamore Pond Newfoundland

A female moose also called a cow, wanders through the wilderness towards the banks of the Tuckamore Pond in Main Brook, Newfoundland.

Tuckamore Pond in Main Brook, Newfoundland is nestled in the wilderness where many species of wildlife roam in search of food, homes and resting spots. This Moose cow leads her two calves to the Southwest Pond of Tuckamore Pond where they can venture into the waters to feed.

The cow is always scoping out the area to make sure that it is safe for her young ones and then she will proceed with caution to teach them the ways of life. It is rare that two calves make it through their first year of life as predators like bears are always on the prowl.

The moose is not a native animal to Newfoundland as in 1878 a bull and a cow moose were brought to Newfoundland and later in 1904 two more bulls and cows were brought from New Brunswick.
