moose on the loose

>>9199 :D Latest article about him: https://www.heute.at/s/neue-fotos-elch-emil-mitten-in-st-poelten-gesichtet-120129165

>>9201 as if I can rean in the Austrian language

>>9203 It basically says he is now in the middle of lower austria aka close to St. Pölten. There are people stalking him and that they shouldnt do that according to animal protection organizations.

>>9205 the beast is huge they have that vid from Finland I think when it plows 1.5-meter snow like it's nothing

>>9206 >>9208 How are the coming to central Europe? I think Emil and Olga would be a great match.

>>9210 zoos

>>9216 Emil isnt a runaway, he just came here like that lmao.

>>9217 Then why did you say he was "lost"?

>>9218 I meant he is lost in the sense that he has no idea where he is going and stuff.

>>9219 Hes looking for a gf

>>9231 Big question is still how he even got here. Whatever, he just stopped all rail traffic https://www.heute.at/s/grosseinsatz-elch-emil-legt-zugverkehr-voellig-lahm-120129198

soon a migrant will sieze it for meat. sic mundus transit gloria

>>9196 i dont understand. if it is lost, how do they know what it is doing and where it is. and why would a moose be lost? its not like it has a home, a job and a family

in Montenegro sometimes it happens somehow that there are farm animals like cows, sheep, goats, horses who roam freely and dont really belong to anyone. like, they would break away and get lost and the owner would just be like, meh, whatever. or owner just i dunno, goes bankrupt or dies or goes to prison and cattle just scatters or whatever. its not common, but it happens sometimes

He must have walked a long way.

>>9250 It's a long way to Tipperary.

>>9196 Bernd elk.

I got recommended a video about this today and it said he came from Poland, so isn’t he a zoo animal then? Or does Poland have moose?

>>9446 I always get confused by moose and elks, because moose are literally called elk elk in Latin, but then elks are called something completely different, lol.

>>9519 The easy way to tell them apart is by the fact that Mooses are ugly but Elk aren't.

>>9520 I mean in (american) English. In all other languages "elks" are the ugly ones, and the other ones are just some type of deer, "cervus".

>>9521 Huh? Am I speaking American? That can't be right.

>>9522 You do, lol. Behold the fuckery: >The moose (pl.: 'moose'; used in North America) or elk (pl.: 'elk' or 'elks'; used in Eurasia) (Alces alces) is the world's tallest, largest and heaviest extant species of deer and the only species in the genus Alces. >Alces alces is called a "moose" in North American English, but an "elk" in British English.[4] The word "elk" in North American English refers to a completely different species of deer, Cervus canadensis, also called the wapiti (from Algonquin). Family: Cervidae Subfamily: Capreolinae Tribe: Alceini Genus: Alces Species: A. alces >The elk (pl.: elk or elks; Cervus canadensis) or wapiti, is the second largest species within the deer family, Cervidae, and one of the largest terrestrial mammals in its native range of North America and Central and East Asia. The word "elk" originally referred to the European variety of the moose, Alces alces, but was transferred to Cervus canadensis by North American colonists. >By the 17th century, Alces alces (moose, called "elk" in Europe) had long been extirpated from the British Isles, and the meaning of the word "elk" to English-speakers became rather vague, acquiring a meaning similar to "large deer". Family: Cervidae Genus: Cervus Species: C. canadensis In short, what everybody else calls an elk, americans call a "moose". And what everybody else just calls wapiti deer, americans call "elks". In reality, these wapiti (who americans call "elks") are so close to the red deer that till late 90s they were thought to be red deer subspecies.

>These animals are often divided into two species because the North American and Asian subspecies have greater presence of chromosomes than the European subspecies - European moose have 68 of them while "American moose" subspecies has 70. Lol
