a moose is not a just a deer or just an elk. this is a moose.

ever heard of a canadian horse? yeah, me neither.

kristin said...: yes, i thought north american elk was a good description too.; 6/19/2007 9:25 a.m.
Anonymous said...: Yeah, mooses have these big noses, eh. But an elk and an 'Elch' apparently are two different things, if you google-picture them, eh.
Is your patronus a moose?

kristin said...: that is interesting, c. it makes me wonder why it's always so hard to describe what a moose actually is.

and i'm not sure what my patronus is, haven't mastered the spell.; 6/19/2007 11:06 p.m.

Kern said...: I always describe a moose as "something like a deer, only bigger and stronger".

Probably not zoologically correct, but it gets the idea across.; 6/25/2007 10:56 a.m.
Kevin said...: Kern, I think it is technically correct to refer to moose as "a big strong deer", as they are in the family Cervidae... but I'm not really positive how naming works.; 6/25/2007 8:11 p.m.
