  • C-2011.10.4c#121.3X. This caribou bull in the back of the bog had gotten knocked out in a rutting battle with another bull. Thier antlers were locked and the other bull couldn't get free for over a half hour. It struggled so hard to get free, I thought it expired several times and then suddenly just stood up. He quickly gathered up the large group of cows and led them away. Over an hour later this bull that was knocked out is still in another time zone. He moves a few feet forward and back and forth and returns to the same spot. Eastern Alaska Range Alaska.
