What’s cuter than one baby moose? Two baby moose!

From Isle Royale National Park:

What’s cuter than one baby moose? Two baby moose! That’s right – twin calves.

After eight long months, cow moose all over Isle Royale have their young in mid-May. Some momma moose on the island have double the trouble! Five sets of twin calves were detected by researchers in 2016. Abundant food supplies and lack of predation make for a healthy parent, which increases the incidence of twins. Watch out mommas, twin calves on Isle Royale are on the rise! #mooselife#watchablewildlife
