Moose

:
MOOSE

Most moose are big and strong.
Others are little and weak.
Most are brownish-black,
And they have a nose unlike a beak.

Their legs might be short and stubby,
Or they could be tall and slender.
If you live in Anchorage,
They could mess up your fender.

These animals may be monstrous,
But please don't fear.
They're plant eaters,
And can't be mistaken for deer.

Moose can be very graceful
When they walk or even run.
Just watch them and you'll see,
They can be a lot of fun.
