The Mooseworld site is "about moose—seeing moose in the wild, collecting moose products, learning about moose habitat, diet, behavior and ecology and seeing how the 'metaphor' of moose can make lives better and happier." What does the latter phrase mean?

We think it has a lot to do with the outlook of people who love moose. In Mooseopia we present stories and essays about moose and about life. Our masthead says that Mooseworld is "About moose, about nature, about life."

These contributions are about all of these things. And, in a way—a special way—they show a unity of nature, life and, yes, moose.  MW
