In the Company of Moose

Moose, the giant deer of the northern forests of Europe, Asia, and North America, can grow up to seven feet tall at the shoulder and exceed sixteen hundred pounds. Author and wildlife biologist Victor Van Ballenberghe has studied wild moose in the field for thirty-five years. The author gives insights into the species, their habitat, and predators and shares intimate stories about the moose he has studied for extensive periods. The beauty of these creatures, their strange grace and gentle nature, and their personalities are captured in lively text and dramatic full-color photos.

Victor Van Ballenberghe has won awards for his scientific work, his writing, and his photography. Spanning more than two decades, his research on moose at Denali National Park is one of the longest-running studies of the species in North America. He lives in Anchorage, Alaska.
