Female moose are known to be increasingly picky when it comes to choosing a habitat before birthing their calves.
One family from Alaska felt blessed when a moose singled out their yard as a safe space to give birth to her babies.
The gentle creature had been visiting their yard every year for the past 6 years during her pregnancy, but this year was special!

After the arduous birthing process, mama moose cleans up her babies who are still soaked in fluid from the amniotic sac.
While the mama makes sure her twins are doing okay, one of her calves excitedly tries to see if his limbs work. He looks too adorable as he stumbles around with the determination to take his first steps!
