Proud mom and her baby - Wild Horses by Georgie Alexon Via Flickr: I have had the pleasure to see the wild horse mares with their baby's the last few years. This was the first time I found this particular pack of horses with the white mare who I had heard so much about. This photo was taken in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains west of Sundre Alberta, Canada. DNA studies conducted by both the University of Calgary and University of Texas show that our Alberta wild horses are indeed genetically unique. They have DNA related to the draft horse, Indigenous ponies and the original Spanish horse. -Equus ferus

At Home in a Canadian Forest - Moose by Georgie Alexon Via Flickr: Moose are the largest living member of the deer family (Cervidae). Moose stand 6–7 feet at the shoulder and weigh up to 600 Kg. They’re the largest member of the deer family. Both males and females have a shoulder hump and a loose fold of skin hanging from their throats, called a dewlap or bell. Taken in Alberta, Canada -Alces alces
Mr. Big - Plains Bison by Georgie Alexon Via Flickr: Both male and female bison have horns beginning around two years old. They then have a stage called a "spike-horn," where the horns develop at a 45-degree angle. This lasts until they are around four years old. Horns start black but turn grey as the buffalo ages. Adult horns curve upward, and the tips start to become blunted and shorter after about age eight. This photo was taken in Elk Island Provincial Park, in Alberta, Canada. - Bison bison bison
Double The Fun by Georgie Alexon Via Flickr: These two wild foals belong to a family of wild horses in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains of Alberta, Canada. They are not twins. In horses, twin fetuses are uncommon. Carrying them to term is even more unusual, and birthing healthy twin foals is especially unlikely. It was a joy as usual to be able to spend some time observing these wild horses. They are gentle giants. -Equus caballus
