moose buddy

mouse --> mice.

goose --> geese.

moose --> meece?

it dawned on me this evening while exploring kinkaid park in anchorage, if i merged a caricature of dash and a steer, i might end up with a meese caricature :)

i wouldn’t want to cross the path of one of these humble, strong creatures in a bad mood. so i kept my distance using the power of the nikon 70-200mm f/2.8 (really an effective focal length of a 300mm f/2.8 on my duezy nikon d-300 thanks for the dx crop factor :) to shoot the images below.

while he was finished with his branch snack, he got his antlers caught and snapped a branch off.

but he was able to pull it off and walk away no problem. my moose buddy has some major talent.
