Nature Wild Moose Puts up Fierce Fight to Protect Her Baby from Wolves

Moose mother fights tooth and nail to save newborn from killer's clutches in the Alaskan wilderness. These incredible pictures show the scene as a titanic life-and-death battle unfolded between a mother moose defending her calf and a ravenous pack of wolves. The enormous moose dwarfs her attackers in this thrilling sequence of images taken in the Alaskan wilderness as they attempt to kill her newborn. As she makes her stand in a small pond in the chilly tundra the mother fights ferociously to save her youngster from the hungry predators. She uses all her strength to try and repel the attack, charging and pounding at the carnivores with her hooves. But despite her desperate efforts the persistence and skill of the hunting Grant Creek wolf pack was just too much and her baby was finally dragged away. Patrick Endrews, a wildlife photographer from Alaska, watched in awe as the action unfolded before his eyes in the Denali National Park.
