Perfect! I love how people using iNat and people writing field guides are influencing each other these days! Love the @humanbyweight.bsky.social books for ex. The ants book also sounds like it's going to be great!

One idea is to look at iNat data about what people are most often encountering and observing (Camponotus, Solenopsis, Oecophylla, Prenolepis etc), what they find charismatic and interesting, see www.inaturalist.org/observations...

Thanks, that was our best guess too. I can't find anything online about Papillomas being associated with abnormal antler growth so maybe that's something else. I saw the same moose later. It also appears to have a droopy ear on the side it shed the antler (and it wasn't an ear laid back behavior)

Right?? It's hard to see in the bad phone pic, but it had some growths (tumors? Warts?) on rear leg, and if same bull as seen last week, the antler that dropped was slightly abnormal. Like thicker than normal. So something else may be going on with a viral infection or injury

Best of luck refinding him and that glorious rack. We already saw a young bull that had lost an antler yesterday morning, which seems early
