Could we get the Moose and the Rhino faces side by side, UT? Compare and contrast sorta thing?

Ok, substitute "rhino" in all of the moose recipes. :p

There you go, anthropomorphising the critters again.

There's a deal of telephoto flattening going on in the image, so I'm not sure how close he really is to the critter. Male meese are ~6 feet tall at the shoulder, so...

Moose doesn't seem to be in that big of a hurry, either. They supposedly gallop when they're running. That one's doing the trademark moose "shambling trot".

Looks like maybe the ossifer's trying to get ahead of the moose, like they're trying to herd it?

I actually specialize in the Half-a-Moose. The photograph appears to be of a whole one.

I dont think the Moose is chasing him at all, I think they are long term buddies and they are just frollicking together...yes?? no??

Then again, I remember the pic of the moose stuck in the swing set (IotD?), so they dont seem particularly smart...but they are soooo cute!!

Foreshortening notwithstanding, I think the moose is a ways behind the officer... maybe the moose is really smart, and he's trying to herd/rout the guy from the side.

tulzscha: where on earth did you get that factoid about Tycho Brahe and his moose? that sounds like something Woody Allen would make up in a fit of absurdity.

(speaking of which, have you ever heard Woody Allen's sketch about the moose he hit on the way to a costume party?)

I believe he was trying to herd the moose toward his partner who had the dart gun, but the moose had other ideas. They are stubborn as hell and given their size & speed, tough to manage.

My aunt sent me a newspaper clipping from MA, that said a moose was taken down by a car at night. Several people called the police station wanting the carcase but were refused. When the wildlife biologists got there in the morning it was gone. They were pissed because there is no moose hunt there (yet) so they don't have many opportunities to examine one.

The Wikipedia article on meese lists it under "moose trivia":

I think you've all got it wrong. What you can't see in this picture is that Rocky is chasing Boris. This nice officer is helping him, and Bullwinkle is pulling up the rear.
