Moose are God's Creatures, too

 

Moose have always fascinated me!!  Do you ever wonder what God was thinking when He created the moose?  He is such a contrast to the elegant and so symmetrical cousin, the deer!!  One has to wonder how those who believe in evolution can explain how two such different and yet similar species emerged from the same glob of goo!!  The moose, with his hind legs shorter than his front, and his oddly shaped face, little eyes and big nose and antlers that look like a science experiment gone awry, all point to a God who is incredibly diverse in His creation and a God who has a sense of humor!!  He does all things well, and in the moose we see that He created an animal that is powerfully strong, massive in size and with a neck built to hold up those fierce antlers.  It amazes me that those antlers can span 6 feet across and that he grows a new pair every year!!  The male moose  stands six feet tall at the shoulders and can weigh up to 1600 pounds!!  Isn't that incredible? 

 

A moose can be very dangerous, and my sister, Peggy, who lives in Alaska has had several close run-ins with a moose.  But they do have their tender side, too.  I love this video, and could not figure out how to embed it in this blog, so just click on the link, and enjoy.
