That'd be cool to have a moose in my pool! If I had a pool.

Yes, they are enormous. I saw a few in the water when touring Yellowstone with my grandparents. So gorgeous though.

This is still my favorite moose site: http://moosefarm.newmail.ru/mfe01.htm

My closest encounter with a large animal- having just moved to Montana, it's January, I've got three drunks in the car, I'm the only sober one (thus I'm driving), it's icy, and I'm driving down a mountain road at midnight. Oh, yeah, and I'm driving an older car that we just bought and I'm not familiar with yet.

There's a very large elk in the road. Panic, much? Oh, yeah. There was no way I was going to be able to stop. Not in the short distance to him. Luckily he moved. I didn't think I was driving too fast but neither was I going to be stopping quickly enough.

Those things are big, too.
