Description The Swedish king Karl XI (Charles XI) tried to use elks (moose) as a substitute for the expensive horses. He never managed to train them though even if he had them brought up from they where pups (foals?), I thought I'd give them another chance though, they are pretty common in our country.

I have never seen a real one... But they look very nice from what I've seen on TV!
Nice house! Those poor ones, do they have to carry it all by themselves?

Same went for zebras and others. Not such a good temperament for domestication. Many have tried, all have failed, basically speaking. It is the nature of those beasts.

Hehe. I could get used to that sight here in Norway as well. I think it's great you're giving them a second chance
