Watch: Young moose plays in snow until it sees reflection in window

Footage shows the moose prancing around a yard in Steamboat Springs, Colo., until it becomes startled by the sight of itself.

Fresh snow on a wintry morning can be invigorating for young critters that aren’t fully accustomed to seasonal weather changes.

That appeared to be the case, anyway, for a young moose Monday in Steamboat Springs, Colo. That is, until the moose was startled by its reflection and hurried back to mom.

The accompanying footage, captured by a Ring camera and credited to Shannon Lukens, was shared by Steamboat Radio with the description:

“How are you enjoying the snow this morning? This young moose is with mom and a sibling in the Fish Creek Falls Road area. It was doing fine until it saw its reflection in the window.”
