为何 花好月圆之际， 正是狩猎的最佳时机

老上

这次2008，中秋之际。 老上我。 和老Q , 麦克酿酒， 鲨鱼，大雁一行五人。 赴16号沿线， 玩耍之；

听得一原住民领袖曰： 每每月圆之际。 正是猎物雄性荷尔蒙高潮之际。

即使是多个male 被猎获， 其他的 “哥们／汉子” 将从更边远的地方， 奔袭而至。慰及没有受孕的famale 。全然不顾猎枪等......

深夜里，我等露营大本营四周。雄moose 的嚎叫嘶鸣，凄厉委婉。划破漆黑星空。 真是一派 “死也要当风流鬼” 壮丽诗篇！

可惜的是。我那16万公里龄SUV. 轮胎穿帮，又遇16号交通事故大堵车。不能够在热点继续越野追踪。

公白虎发情求欢被拒 一怒之下将母老虎咬伤(图)

扬子晚报10月2日报道 昨日上午，常州淹城野生动物世界即将开园时发生了令人咋舌的一幕：长期居住在一起的一对珍稀白虎“夫妇”突然“反目”，只是因为公虎发情，母虎没有理会，盛怒之下的公虎一口咬在母虎的背上，伤得不轻。截至记者发稿时止，白虎仍在救治当中。
　　
受伤的白虎身下满是鲜血 “反对家庭暴力”

　　当今世界白虎存世极少，淹城野生动物世界的这对白虎体形健美、毛色鲜丽，自开园以来受到广大游客的喜爱。谁也没想到，这么“天造地设”且一直相处和谐的“夫妇”会反目。饲养员小廖告诉记者，受伤的白虎名叫孟亚，居住在猛兽投食区。当日上午，白虎孟亚和它的“老公”异常兴奋，尤其是它的老公更是在场地内来回走动。突然，白公虎猛然将孟亚逼到角落，欲要交配，孟亚对公虎的狂暴没有理会。公虎俨然发怒了，猛地向孟亚扑去，张起血盆大口向孟亚的背上咬去，猝不及防的孟亚没有任何准备，被一口咬个正着，伤口处顿时血流如注。孟亚因疼痛而全身颤抖，不住地发出痛苦低沉的呻吟声。“这一切太突然了，让人始料不及，” 小廖说。他呆了几秒钟后赶紧叫人来帮忙，并立即通知了兽医院的唐院长，大家赶开公虎，将孟亚实施麻醉后救出。

　　今年7月底，孟亚刚生下一对小白虎。小白虎已经断奶。母亲受伤，不会对小白虎产生多大影响。昨日下午3点半，淹城野生动物世界兽医院的唐院长表示，孟亚伤势不轻，伤口处有水肿，为判断孟亚的脊椎和神经等是否被咬伤，医院还将为孟亚做CT，动物园将对孟亚进行全力救治。

争斗死磕 moose 双双溺水

据英国《每日邮报》报道。   Frozen pair of fighting moose discovered in remote Alaska village

一名自然老师在寒冷的阿拉斯加冰面上，发现了两对纠缠的鹿角从冰下伸出来，仔细观察后，他意识到，冰面下有两只已经溺水身亡的雄性麋鹿。据悉，它们在争夺配偶的时候，鹿角卡在了一起，随后双双落入水中，溺水死亡后，被冻在8英寸（约20厘米）的厚冰中。


本月初，当地一位社会自然老师布拉德-韦伯斯特（Brad Webster）带着朋友游览阿拉斯加州城市尤纳拉克利特（Unalakleet）的时候发现了冰面上这对凸起的鹿角。

当时，两人走在冰面上，先看到了一对鹿角从冰下伸出来。随后，他们又发现了另外一对鹿角，才意识到冰面以下有两只麋鹿。“太震惊了，”这位33岁的老师韦伯斯特说，“我之前听说过其他动物被冻在冰里面，但是这是我第一次亲眼看到。”

野生动物学专家克里斯-洪德特马克（Kris Hundertmark ）表示，每年九月末十月初是麋鹿的发情期。这两只雄性麋鹿很可能为了一只雌性麋鹿大打出手，打架过程中，它们的鹿角卡在了一起，随后双双落入水中，溺水身亡。随着温度降低，周围的水迅速凝冻成厚厚的冰，它们则被冻在了里面。


据悉，森林中经常有麋鹿不幸将鹿角卡在一起，随着体能消耗，慢慢饿死。这两只麋鹿却在水中彼此相困，应该是落水后不久便死亡了。

Two moose locked antlers in a fight, then froze together in a stream

The sight of hulking moose isn’t uncommon in the region around Unalakleet, an Alaska town on the coast of the Bering Sea. But Brad Webster had never seen moose like this before.

Webster, a social studies and science teacher, was showing a friend around the grounds of the Bible camp that he helps maintain. It was early November — before the first snow, but cold enough that the slough at the site was covered in a sheet of ice thick enough to walk on and clear enough to see through. Webster’s friend was new to Alaska, and it was his first time walking on ice. So they decided to go for a walk on the waterway.

The two men rounded a bend, and there, Webster said, they saw it: a large set of antlers and a hairy brown hump protruding from the ice. They got closer, and they saw another hump — and another set of antlers, entangled with the first set.

The two bull moose were lying on their sides, apparently locked in a fight to the death, and now perfectly preserved in eight inches of ice.

“We were both kind of in awe,” Webster, 33, said in an interview on Wednesday. “I’ve heard of other animals this had happened to, but I’ve never seen anything like this.”

Neither have most people. Another friend of Webster’s, Jeff Erickson, posted photos of the moose on Facebook this week, and the remarkable sight promptly shot around the globe (sparking, predictably, some metaphorical jokes about politics). Erickson said even “elders” in the town had never seen such a thing.

Kris Hundertmark, chair of the biology and wildlife department at the University of Alaska Fairbanks, said in an email that male moose compete for females by clashing antlers and pushing against each other during the fall breeding season. Adult male moose are extremely strong, he said, but their large antlers often have “complex” shapes that can become so entangled that the animals cannot dislodge themselves from their opponents, he said. Hundertmark said the only ones he’s seen are skulls of conjoined moose found in the wild — but not in ice.

“These two fellows were unfortunate in that they probably fell into the water while locked together and drowned,” Hundertmark said. “Then again, that is a much quicker way to go than by getting locked together in some forest and slowly starving to death.”

Nearly two weeks later, Webster and friends went to recover the two moose heads. (Jeff Erickson)

This past weekend, Webster, Erickson, and a few other friends — including a taxidermist — went back to the site to retrieve the two moose heads, which Webster said he wanted to mount and use as wall hangings with a heck of a backstory at the Bible camp. It took a few hours, a chainsaw and an ice pick to get through the ice, under which were about two feet of water, he said. They left the carcasses, which he said some people in town are talking about using to feed dog sled teams.

When they examined the heads, it looked as though one moose might have pierced the other’s skull, Webster said, leading him to believe that one might have died mid-battle, then pulled the other down into the water with him.

“After that one’s dead, it’s kind of like you won the battle but you lose the war, because you’ve got a whole other moose attached to your head right now,” he said.

Erickson, 57, said in an email that the sight of the downed moose, which were by Saturday covered in a dusting of white, will stay with him.

“Life in northwest Alaska can have a stark reality and brutal consequences,” he wrote. But, he added: “I was just happy to be part of the recovery. … The view of the antlers protruding from the ice with the soft layer of snow on the carcasses not encased in the ice was such a stark and eerily beautiful scene.”
