Titans of the north. what strange strange creatures you are...

So  Im sitting here   on the computer  while my bro is watching television and   I happen to look up  to see a  documentary  about  ... Moose  in Alaska .  But this  is  specifically what  I  see

 

Then  this



So  naturally I cant help  but  wonder.  What the Hell happened???  DID YOU KNOW  :  Mooses   shed the velvet on their  horns ( quite brutally , mind you,  this  is what it looks like before  we see the beautiful smooth  antlers   that  they have grown. Cant have beauty with out pain ... or whatever that saying is :P)

Also  apparently male moose's (bulls)  dig small holes and  have killer aim when it comes  to  and I  quote " Urinating  extravagantly"  into said  hole.  Then get this... The female Moose's (Cows)   battle each other (cat fight  :P)  to   roll around in  the  Bulls  pee and show  they want to mate by  "excreting perfumes"  onto the male. ...  Talk about marking territory. and here I thought Hickeys  were bad :P.

But  over all moses  are pretty amazing minus  the few strange , painful  looking habits.   I liked  this  documentary a lot and have a  new found respect for moose.
