Moose and Squirrel

Hmmmm, don't think I've ever seen, or even visualized, a moose with reins, or even someone riding one for that matter.
Nice work as usual Chris.
I am really looking forward to this one! I have AM's moose (and I love him, too!) but the more the merrier in my book, and I am going to be very eager to get my grubby paws on this big guy.
(And I'm sure this won't come as a surprise - but I'm definitely hoping for an Elk down the road at some point, too!)
The reins are interesting. There is a bit of a colorful history of humans attempting to domesticate moose.
The link goes to an Anchorage, Alaska article. I've also seen bits of them up in the Adirondacks here. There are some.. interesting arrangements at times, depending on what part of the mountains you live in. In certain areas, humans just stay out of the way around dusk and dawn and let the moose have right of way - especially in the fall during the rut when the bulls are out looking for cows and can be aggressive. LOL
And then of course, there is Canada and their tenacity for their environment and what it throws at them. There have, of course been more attempts to domesticate some up north as well.
Alberta, 1898 - in team for pulling.
Skaguay, Alaska - again, for pulling
Newfoundland - saddles and for riding

Awesome! We have plenty of them here, and while mostly not a problem, they can occasionally get bothersome. (We got a moose on our porch one day, staring in through the living-room window)
Interesting tidbit: In Norway, it is actually illegal to ride a moose. This law is ancient, and no one has bothered doing anything about it. The reason is this: Back in the days of horse and carriage, criminals would raise moose and use them as their get-away. While a horse is of course faster on a road, a moose will beat it easily on uneven terrain and thick vegetation. So basically, thieves would get on their moose and leg it into the forest, and the police, on their horses, couldn't follow!

I think it would all depend on if your moose was properly licensed and had a warning for the wide load of the antlers was properly displayed both in front and back of the moose.

Suggestions for inclusion to the Squirrel Morphs - Giant Asian Squirrels. They are among the biggest and in my opinion the most impressive squirrels in the world. The biggest squirrel though is the Red and White Giant Flying Squirrel.
The Giant Asian Squirrels includes:
1. The black giant squirrel or Malayan giant squirrel (Ratufa bicolor)
2. The Indian giant squirrel or Malabar giant squirrel (Ratufa indica)
The red and white giant flying squirrel (Petaurista alborufus)
1. Resting
2. In flight

Baby moose are called calf, or calves for plural.
Bull, Cow, and Calf.

Those hooves are way too small - unless American moose have more dainty feet than Scandinavians..
Random image of Norwegian moose I found online (big, so only thumbnail)
Edit: actually, the legs in general look very weird, much too short for one. Moose are mostly legs! But I don't know if that would be down to continental differences or not
