I was a Buddhist myself for 5 years, the a friend at school invited me to a Pentecostal services a few times, I told that person I am very satisfied with worshipping Buddha. One night Buddha appeared in one of my dreams and said to me, " What Christ has offered is BETTER than what I can give you." That dream changed my life forever and I became a follower of Jesus Christ for over 43 years and still love every minutes of it.
Christ is God who incarnated in the person of Jesus to RESTORE our immortality, which He and the Father gave to Adam and his humans children to Rule and Reign with them on earth and the Universe before the Fall in the garden of Eden.
Jesus said to the humans 2000 years ago, "Ye must be Born Again!" because of Adam and Eve sins of disobedience when they side with Satan/Serpent instead to be with Christ/the Tree of Life for eternity. Jesus said to the humans, "Ye are gods!" Adam and Eve were created in the Image of God, in theirs likeness but they were deceived by the Serpent to give up their immortality to become his servants/children of Darkness.
Christ came down from heaven to RESTORE the humans immortality/eternal life with God, all we do is to believing in Him and to live our lives to help others on the earth then we will RULE and REIGN with God when Jesus returns.

moose mammal Alternate titles: Alces alces, Alces americana, Eurasian elk By Valerius Geist • Edit History bull moose bull moose See all media Related Topics: Alaskan moose west Siberian moose European moose Shiras moose Siberian moose Summary Read a brief summary of this topic moose, (Alces alces), largest member of the deer family Cervidae (order Artiodactyla). Moose are striking in appearance because of their towering size, black colour, long legs, pendulous muzzle, and dangling hairy dewlap (called a bell) and the immense, wide, flat antlers of old bulls. The name moose is common in North America; it is derived from the word moosh (“stripper and eater of bark”) in the Algonquian language of the Innu people of Quebec, Canada. In Europe moose are called elk.

Contunico © ZDF Enterprises GmbH, Mainz See all videos for this article Moose inhabit the northern parts of North America and Eurasia. In North America four subspecies are recognized, including the eastern moose (Alces alces americana), which inhabits eastern Canada and the northeastern United States; the northwestern moose (A. alces andersoni), which inhabits central Canada and North Dakota, Minnesota, and northern Michigan; the Shiras moose (A. alces shirasi), which inhabits the Rocky Mountains in the United States and Canada; and the Alaskan moose (A. alces gigas), which inhabits Alaska and northwestern Canada. Although not widely accepted, some classifications also recognize several Eurasian subspecies, including the European moose (A. alces alces); the Siberian, or Yakut, moose (A. alces pfizenmayeri); the west Siberian, or Ussuri, moose (A. alces cameloides); and the east Siberian, or Kolyma, moose (A. alces buturlini). In addition to differences in geographical distribution, the different subspecies of moose are further distinguished by features such as size, pelage, and antler characteristics. The differences in regional body sizes appears to reflect adaptation to local conditions. The largest moose specimens are found in Alaska and eastern Siberia; there bulls weigh 600 kg (1,300 pounds) and stand 2 metres (7 feet) tall at the shoulder. The smallest moose are found in its southernmost populations in Wyoming and Manchuria, where large bulls weigh 300–350 kg (660–770 pounds).
moose moose Moose (Alces alces) at the edge of a frozen river. Encyclopædia Britannica, Inc. Moose primarily exploit plant communities of deciduous shrubs that have been disturbed by flooding, avalanches, or forest fires. They are avid visitors to mineral licks. In winter they may also avidly consume conifers such as fir and yew. In areas of very deep snow, moose may tramp a system of trails called a “moose yard.” In summer they may also consume large amounts of aquatic vegetation. The large, mobile, sensitive muzzle appears to be a specialized feeding organ that allows moose to exploit the large stocks of submerged aquatic vegetation in shallow lakes and streams. Moose may dive and stay up to 50 seconds underwater while feeding. Even calves are excellent swimmers.

During calving season, moose cows face grizzly and black bears. In late winter when the snow is deep and moose cannot flee, they defend themselves against wolf packs. They choose hard, level ground with little snow for maneuverability, such as ridges blown free of snow or frozen lakes with a thin cover of snow. When hindered by deep snow, they back into dense conifers to protect their vulnerable inguinal region and lower haunches from attacks by wolves. They may then charge the wolves and attack them by slapping them with their front legs and kicking them with their hind legs. These blows are powerful enough to kill wolves.

In Siberia, hunters armed with muzzle-loading guns feared wounded moose far more than they feared the large brown bear. Due to the thick skin on its head and neck and its dense skull, an attacking moose could not be readily stopped with a small, round rifle ball of soft lead.
Moose normally escape predators by trotting at high speed, which forces the pursuing smaller predators into expensive and tiring jumping but which costs a moose relatively little energy. It readily comes to bay but on its terms: it chooses low water where wolves are hampered in their movements. Although moose are excellent swimmers, it does not choose deeper water, because northern wolves have relatively large paws and so are also excellent swimmers. Predation by wolves and bears removes the infirm but may also severely deplete healthy calves, despite the spirited defense of their mothers.
moose moose Moose (Alces alces) crossing a river. Encyclopædia Britannica, Inc. Moose mate in September so that the calves may be born in June to take advantage of spring vegetation. The antlers are shed of the blood-engorged skin called velvet in late August, and the bulls are in rut by the first week of September. Rutting bulls search widely for females, but the bulls may also attract females with the smell of their urine. They paw rutting pits with their forelegs, urinate into them, and splash the urine-soaked muck onto their hairy bells. Cows in turn may call to attract bulls. Actively rutting bulls appear to receive more than 50 punctures per mating season, but they are protected by a thick skin on the front and the neck. Rutting is expensive, as bulls lose virtually all of their body fat and their festering wounds must heal.
Because of their large body size, moose have a long gestation period of about 230 days. Twins are not uncommon. The young are born tan in colour, which contrasts sharply with the dark colour of adults. They grow very fast but still require maternal protection against wolves in winter. They are driven off by their mother shortly before she gives birth again. The dispersed yearlings roam in search of new living space.
Young calf moose in human hands tame readily and emerge as surprisingly intelligent, mischievous, but utterly loyal creatures. As mounts and beasts of burden, moose are superior to horses in muskeg and taiga. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, moose became scarce owing to severe exploitation in unsettled times in Eurasia and to uncontrolled market hunting in North America. However, they responded readily to protection and management. Today moose are abundant in Eurasia and North America and are a cherished game animal. (The muzzle of the moose is considered a delicacy.) However, with the restoration of a predator fauna in North America, moose are again declining.

Probably not many moose over there in NZ hey curly? I’m really partial to them although I always wonder what God was thinking when he assembled them!!! There are just some animals like that. Moose were released in New Zealand in 1910 after President Roosevelt gifted NZ some Moose. They were thought to have died out but a few were shot in the 1950's. There has been a bit of conjecture that there is still a population of Moose but I remain a sceptic. A former colleague, Ken Tustin has set up numerous game cameras in the area and claims he has "very blurry" photos of moose. One or two others have made similar claims. The area where they are supposed to be is very dense rain forest and swamp in Fiordland. The area is surrounded by mountains with U shaped valleys carved out by glaciers so is not your typical North American Moose habitat.
