Over here Moose are a big thing.
They are both big animals and some what rare.
Some people see them every day, but most have never seen a wild moose (thought we are not sure if it because people do not get in the wild very much).
Well, Phil and Fi have.
On Tuesday we went canoeing down the little spokane river at dusk. Some friends from church invited us for a paddle, and well, who says no.
We loved getting out and paddling down the river. We saw some deer, some ducklings, a beaver and of course our moose.
Moose attack more people than bears and wolves combined (so Wikipedia says) which made everyone quite nervous. But we do not think the moose even knew we were there, they are big, ungraceful, ugly but some how charming. Fi has denied Phil's request to hunt one as a trophy for our home office (you are only allowed to kill one moose in your life in the USA...).
We also got to see a beaver. They are HUGE! Kind of like a giant pillow covered with fur. They are massive. So it was really cool to see one and chase it down the river.
All in all lots of fun... (PS sorry for the terrible photo of the moose)
I don't know if you've every watched the comedy Northern Exposure. It's set in Alaska and they are always eating moose burgers. Did you get to eat a moose burger? That would be good.
ReplyDeleteAre the beavers as big as Narnian beavers?
