Moose

:

Moose

moose have antlers
like their smaller cousins the deer
they don't have horns
like the DalI Sheep in the mountains

when moose grow old
their antlers grow bigger
their meat gets tougher
and their bones get weaker

moose are the largest of their family
then comes the elk
next the caribou
and last is the roe deer

the bigger the moose
the more meat we have for winter
but I prefer the smaller ones
for their softer meat.
