Teddy Moose?
Most of us know the story
behind the Teddy
Bear and how Theodore Roosevelt protected an old bear from
being killed while on a hunting trip. Since that day, there was
an occurence that took place that forever made the toy bear the "teddy
bear". It is somewhat ironic how a creature such as the
bear, has been made into this toy creature that for ages people
have found adorable and cute. The very characteristics that we
give to this toy bear is the exact opposite of the characteristics
that you would find in a real live bear. But because of the incident
with Teddy Roosevelt, the bear has gotten all the attention.
Now, don't get us wrong, we like bears but we just feel that
the moose never really got the credit it deserved.
If you do any research
on Theodore Roosevelt, you'll learn that Roosevelt had a passion
for the outdoor and for hunting and simply observing big game
animals.  Of all his outdoor stories, he doesn't talk in such
high regard about any other animal like he talks about the moose.
The moose was so elusive that he ended up spending alot of time
tracking and learning about its behavior and habitat and gained
a tremendous
respect for the moose. He describes the moose as one of the largest
and most majestic creatures to roam the woods. He had tremendous
respect for the moose and lifestyle characteristics. There is
clearly no other large animal like the moose that exemplifies
the characteristics we hold in the symbol the "teddy bear".
The moose is a large, strong and majestic creature with a gentle,
warm hearted and soft side. If you have ever had the pleasure
to travel to Moose Nation are any other part of the U.S. to witness
one of these great creatures you know what I'm talking about
when I describe them in this way.
NATIONAL TEDDY MOOSE MONTH
Our goal here at Moose
Nation is to give moose the attention they deserve. In
observance of Theodore Roosevelt's great reverance for the
moose, we are officially claiming the month of September to
be "National Teddy Moose Month". There is a big movement
in the U.S. that is making the moose more and more popular.
You can find companies that offer "teddy moose" as
gifts like one of our favorite Moose
Nation stores, Maine
Moose Company. There is also a fast growing popularity
for moose stuff and here at Moose
Nation we are going to do
our part to help this popularity to grow and grow until the
moose gets at least as much attention as the "teddy bear".
We hope you'll help in our effort to get all moose-aholics
involved in getting new moose-aholics to visit our site
and continue the popularity of Moose Mainia. Help us by visiting
our site often and contributing when you can and also spreading
the
word to
get other people to visit our site as well.
