Quotation from the Mentor, insert page on the moose:
“It is difficult either to imagine him [the moose] or believe him without seeing him. His towering legs are beyond compare – in deer: his huge body is wholly out of proportion; his covered with long, coarse hair that is like a thatch rather than a coat of hair; his huge, overhanging nose is in a class by itself, and his enormous shovel antlers are like no other antlers under the sun. His picture, by Carl Rungius, the great animal painter, must tell the story of his form.”
