Or should that headline be "moose-motor boat"...?

Great post Paul! Monkeytoes77 is right though,that is a reindeer!
Also the next article down the page at the link is about bio-fuel research to replace the "diminishing supplies of coal and oil". Weird since this is from the Feb.1925 issue of popular mechanics! :coolsmile:

Good eye, both.

In North America, reindeer are called caribou.

Good luck getting a moose to pull your canoe.

More slavery according to PETA. Pretty cool the guy could train it to do that.

I can understand why a REINdeer would be easier to steer than a moose.
