They ARE cute. And 90% legs!

I am confused!

"But then it gets really confusing, because in North America there is another member of the Deer family, the Wapiti, which is also called Elk. So, theSwedish Älg (Alces alces) is a Moosein American English and an Elk in British English."

Nice description of adult moose from earthwormjim91:

Moose are ridiculous. They can straight up kill you with hooves and antlers. And since they are like 700 pound barrels on toothpicks, they will completely destroy you in your own car if you ever come across one on the road.

Memo to self: Avoid meese. 

Did you know moose lips are called muffles?

I did not know that muffles needed to be a word.
