View the Full Post]]> When I started my Square Menagerie series, I created exotic African animals.

And this moose.

Actually, there were a number of moose. (Mooses? Meese? Mouseaux?). Somewhere out there, my friend, Rosa, has a daddy and baby girl moose, the latter splay-legged and awkward while her loving father stands nearby. My father-in-law has another in Lima, Perú, and there are several more like this one.

Moose are goofy and almost magnificent. gangly and strong, oddly proportioned and fiercely protective. I heard of one who devoted his life to a flying squirrel.
