Raccoon is another fine word brought to you by Native Americans (Algonquin in this case). As is chipmunk (most likely). (Did I do dat right?)

And, are North American and Northern European elk different? I know the bison are - European bison are smaller than their North American cousins.

And as to those lovely NZ sheep - their fleeces are the most luscious for spinning into yarn on my Ashford spinning wheel!

That moose had half of his impressive rack shot off by a crazed media person who couldn't get an interview. Regis walked up to the moose and asked, "Is that your final antler?"

Moose are widespread throughout Canada and Alaska, where the largest animals, which stand as high as seven to eight feet at the shoulder, are found. Slightly smaller moose are also found in parts of Europe and Asia, where they are known as elk.

My turn:

Regis walked up to the moose and asked, "Is that your final antler?"

Whereupon the Reege promptly seized the remaining antler:
you see, it was a chocolate mousse.

>An elk is a deer on steroids. A moose is a deer on steroids drawn with a crayon.

Stop, you're killin' me. Faldage, that is the most hilarious thing I have ever heard, the best part is that it is true.

Newfoundland is pronounced Terreneuve here, Bean .

I was told that dachshund was actually the German translation of duck hound! Who lied to me?
