The term moose comes from an Algonquian word meaning "eater of twigs". I encountered this moose yesterday morning. I was on my first hike back in AK, when this baby came out of no where running. He was crying. I figured he was lost from his Mommy. Poor baby. He was fast and upset. I thought he was going to charge me. I said, "Go on and find your Mama!' He whimpered and took off.
