In Sweden, we were accompanied by one and, as you say, the scale is not typical for our life.

A couple of times, in different places, a young moose trotted alongside my car, its legs as tall as the top of the car. They are awkward looking, but very graceful in motion, with a light floating trot. They have no fear at all of humans, and why should they, being so large?Altoon Sultanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16743040814034732581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7658518583188826551.post-88006901888008329322013-11-24T17:17:40.764-05:002013-11-24T17:17:40.764-05:00What a wonderful, many-layered experience.

I also should add that I once saw a mounted moose head with a big rack and was stunned by the sheer size of the creature — and that was only his head.LINDA from EACH LITTLE WORLDhttp://eachlittleworld.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.com
