Yes. Every animal that grows antlers lose them every year. It is kind of like losing teeth for bigger better ones to grow. Only humans cant grow better teeth every year. :( usually when they lose their antlers new ones are about to start growing.
I figure a loose antler feels like a loose tooth. They know it feels weird and they shake it off the same way a child can tell when their tooth feels loose and is going to fall out and the push at it with their tongue.
If I saw a Moose do this, I'd run over and grab the Antler and hang it up over my Fireplace as a conversation piece. When people wanted to know how I came to acquire such a treasure, I would begin the story with, "Did I ever tell you how I once engaged a 1,500 lbs Bull Moose in Mortal Combat?....."
@@RexIgneus2024 you didn't have to say idiot I'm pretty sure he knew he wasn't talking about mortal kombat he was just making a joke don't just jump to calling people an idiot be respectful please and thank you
Anyone else have a strange feeling when the antler came off as if you too lost something heavy and annoying... Nevermind, that was just my cat on top of me.
Antlers mainly serve as a display of a bull moose's stature and strength during the fall mating season. Usually, younger and weaker males can be easily scared and fended off by a rival with a bigger rack, so there's often no need to use them as a weapon.
Please don't ever speak on wildlife ever again. Antlers serve one purposes and one purpose only. To defend their harem from other bucks/bulls during the rut for mating. Cows/does don't think wow look at that rack!! He is so big and full. They mate with the bull/buck that is the fittest. The fittest is determined by fighting and preventing another male from stealing their harem.
***** HAHAHA. Omfg, I am laughing so hard. Thanks, I needed a good laugh. (Dude, I was messing with ya, but of course sarcasm is hard to tell on the Internet. >>)
Thanks for the little typed commentary on the side. It always amazes me how many people don't know that most deer (including moose!) grow their antlers every year and then drop them after the rutting season. (And like the OP says -- no, it really *doesn't* hurt. The antlers are dead bone at that point. It's like having your hair cut.)
I'm usually blown away by people's apparent sudden lack of motor control when recording a slowly moving object (like a rocket); But this video proves that the subject matter need not even be moving for a person with a camera to lose all motor control as well as all intelligence when recording anything with a video camera.
Maybe after one of Canada's most dangerous animals leaves the scene 😃 Although if he's losing his antlers that means that mating is done for the year so he won't be AS angry if you get too close.
Not gonna lie, i'm cringing quite a bit at how little these people know about moose (or deer in general). Thanks NatGeo for clearly correcting all of the ridiculous things they were saying!
If you think that's rare, I woke up one morning while camping to find a deer that had died in my camp quietly overnight a few feet from my sleeping bag. The cougar that was chasing it ran away.
My brother found a shed by a whitetail deer. It was a 5 point and thick at the base. Its from a big buck. It was found 2 weeks ago and we seen the buck with 1 antler last week when we went out for a hunting walk. Big buck that looks very healthy.
Jay Disman - School nothing, I've lived in Northern Canada my whole life and had no clue they shed their antlers. Oops. I never would have believed they have to grow that whole mess again every year!
I wonder if it's a relief! ☺️ And it must be so annoying when the second one doesn't shed off at the same time. My neck hurts just thinking about that...
Looked startled when it fell off, like when your chewing popcorn and hit a kernel that makes a loud crunch and you just pause for a second like F was that my tooth!
That is the most inappropriate comment ever at 0:05 masquerading as a complement. When intra-species copulation becomes legal around 2043, this will be seen as prescient and prophetic.
I know a really mature whitetail is always the last to shed velvet. They are old and know when they need to start rubbing off velvet. Young bucks get excited and do it earlier in anticipation of the rut. Older bucks know they got plenty of time before it rut and are slower to shed velvet. They know they get first dibbs at the gals anyway.
I was reading a conversation between the onion knight and King Stannis. that sent me to look for the origin of ''giving horns''. still can not find a good answer. but I found out about this amazing fact about antlers that somehow eluded me for almost 27 years of existence on this planet. curiosity pays off.
“Is he supposed to lose it!!??”
The worry is real.

That’s not right at all lol
@@sirpudding8934 it isn't?
@@sirpudding8934 no it was his left antler. He will shed his right antler later.
@@Bendigo1 not every animal that had antlers. Here in Alaska the female caribou keep their antlers all year round.
I bet that feels weird. All of a sudden having all the weight on one side.
Thought about the same thing. When the other one doesnt come off soon it probably affects his neck muscles.
It’s neck muscles are so strong the don’t notice, but yeah that would be weird
It must feel awkward. I can't even stand parting my hair to the side

human females also seem to become intimidated by an individual with a larger rack, must be convergent evolution

Yeah they lose their velvet first. Once that happens the antler calcifies and is just dead bone. It's a relief for them to lose it.
I Didn’t Know...🤭
I always imagined it probably feels good. Especially when they scratch off the velvet. Must feel like scratching a bad itch.
Beautiful being :) Awesome to get that moment on camera!
It must feel awkward to suddenly have that weight imbalance on the head.

I was like is it just gonna fall off or he gonna bang it on a tree...

I always thought they smash their antlers on trees to get them off. I had no idea they could just pop off with just a quick shake of the head.
That's why you always use gorilla glue for serious situations, super glue doesn't cut it!
