Toward evening, a cow moose and her calf dine on sagebrush in Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming. An adult [insert animal name here] with their young can be potentially dangerous situation. With moose being among the most aggressive, I kept a safe distance and photographed from within my car to avoid causing stress on the animals. Fortunately, I was in a location of Grand Teton National Park that was hidden from view of the main arterial road, so no visitors spotted these two while driving by. I had several locations I wanted to get to, having just arrived at the park, but I was more than content to let the day end while I spent time watching these beautiful animals interact.
