This is one of the cutest things ever. I have only seen moose standing and looking stoic. I've never seen them playing.

about 10 years ago, the Torontonians had a collection of resin moosen. They were all over the city for some reason and then they sold the moosen to the (I dont know who). These were very colorfully painted moose done up by the canadian artists who, after emerging from their dens in late winter , were probably all suffering from pent up colormyopathy.

We've had a couple of those art movements here. Or maybe I should one of them a moovement. First there were painted cows in Boston, then there were painted whales on the cape. Some went farther than paint and did dioramas and mosaics.

though i think a deer is just a deer...dunno what you people call elk, but your deer and our deer are remarkably alike. what's the difference between your deer and your elk?

So I'm a fan of the Frugal Traveler on the NYT site. This last week he was in the Harz Mountains in Germany and, as part of his photos, showed a sign with what is to me a moose, although it could also have been one of our locals, a Roosevelt Elk.

Lots of snortling from the peanut gallery ensued. I'm glad to find out much of that was language barrier.

(don't know what them english speaking europeans would call them, but we slovaks are refined enough to have a distinctive term for each of the antlered prettyboy. Females have totally different names, of course).

Hmmm... male-female.....

I know deer is deer with buck being male and doe being female (fawn being a baby). Elk and moose (I had to look this up) are elk and moose, the male being a bull elk/moose, the female being a cow and babies being calves.

Now I have to look up caribou

Let a whole herd slowly pass in front of me idling rig once....

That video is cute!

The moose family seems completely comfortable and at home in this backyard! It's so nice to watch. I only hope that moose are okay when they lose their fear of humans. I know it's a big problem when it happens to bears.

I was a few feet from a Roosevelt elk herd in Orick once. Yes, I took a picture, but you know me and scanner tharn. I failed to order elkburger at nearby restaurant. I'm not a vegie.t but that's not what I wanted for lunch, and before the fern road to the beach.

I'll admit surprise that elk live in New Mexico. I think of them as from northern climes. Still learning, pass me that file.

As far as i know, the hunting laws, and the size of the animals.

Caribou and reindeer is the same critter, too, on different sides of the pond.
