I too was thinking it looked like something a bear may have done. But now I have to think about what might have eaten or gnawed that much bark. Hmmm...do squirrels chew on bark?
Terrie, No this tree is on my Mom's property in the mountains of Wyoming. And still no answer. I will tell everyone in a few hours. Thanks for stopping by.
The answer is this is a tree with some of the bark eaten by a moose. Here is a picture of another where you can see the marks made by their teeth as they eat and another showing the top of the bark missing seven feet from the ground. And one of the moose. I have watched deer and moose as they eat the branches and leaves of the aspen trees that have fallen on the ground. They really seem to enjoy the taste of the trees.
I was going to say that whoever/whatever it was, probably had a huge itch or was very hungry ... and I probably wouldn't want to come face to face with one of them ... unless it was on the plate. :)
Sylvie, They are incredible. Recently i did two posts on them and called them Face to Face (parts 1 and 2). And though it has been years ago, When I was a starving college student, I had a license for one and it really tasted great.
Debi, i had always though about the power and strength of the entire animal -- but you got me thinking about the teeth. I certainly wouldn't want one to bite me.
Matt, Thanks for stopping by. And I don't believe any guess that you would make would be foolish. I should also tell you that a lot of people living here had no idea what caused this until someone from the Fish & Game Dept. mentioned it.
