I saw this on Sunday:
From the Wildlife Heritage Foundation of NH website:
From the Wildlife Heritage Foundation of NH website:
Two large bull moose had engaged in a fight and died... During the battle, their two massive sets of antlers had become inextricably locked. Unable to separate from one another, the bulls, exhausted, stressed, and unable to eat or drink, eventually succumbed to nature...
Coyotes, other predators, and ravens had heavily fed on the main bodies of both moose. Decomposition was well in progress. But, what did remain in unspoiled condition, was a mass of entangled antlers that was unlike anything the two had ever seen... The men then carefully removed both heads of the moose while maintaining the tightly locked antlers... They retrieved John’s canoe from his truck and proceeded to load the heads and locked antlers into the canoe and dragged them down the mountain. One bull sported a 53-inch spread while the other displayed an impressive 61-inch spread! The estimated weight of the heads and antlers was about 300 pounds! The antlers remained permanently locked and have never been separated.
