And this?

About a 1/4 in size compared to genuine fresh Alces alces.

Cazador · 04-21-2007, 01:42 AM

Those are either Alces alces deposited in the winter, or they're chocolate eggs deposited by the Easter bunny

. Only the taste will tell for sure

I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure they are from the arse of a Odocoileus virginianus.

Cazador · 04-21-2007, 01:57 AM

It sure could be. The only difference is scale. Do you have whitetail in Finland?

Stefan-A · 04-21-2007, 02:09 AM

We do. Finns that had emigrated to Minnesota sent one male and 5 females here in the 1934, the deer (only 1.3 survived the trip) and their offspring (born 1937) were released in 1938. We have about 30 000 of them now.

Today's history lesson.

White-lipped banded snail. Cepaea hortensis. (And juvenile female Homo sapiens in background!)

That picture is priceless! Talk about being able to apreciate the small things in life!
