Nordic Animal Cheat Sheet

Elk, Moose, Reindeer, Caribou, Deer… Who am I??

Can you tell the differences?

Who is Swedish? Who is Canadian?

Fun Fact:

• “After the mating season males (moose) drop their antlers to conserve energy for the winter. A new set of antlers will then regrow in the spring. ” [1]
• Alaskan moose is the largest subspecies [2]

Another fun fact!

• Moose test, also known as the “Double Lane Change” manoeuvre, is designed to test the car’s ability to react and swirl around a moose on the road!

Well! Now you know the difference!

Stop calling everything moose moose moose moooose!
