Canada Just Can’t Tolerate Norway Having The Tallest Moose Statue In The World (14 pics)
The majestic animal of the North, the moose, recently became the object of an unusual quarrel
1
The thing is, for over 30 years, Moose Jaw, a Canadian town, had been proud of having the world’s tallest moose statue
2
Reaching 32 feet (9.8 m) and weighing almost 10 tons, Mac The Moose, stood tall in its glory
3
But then this guy, Storelgen, showed up in Norway and Mac The Moose was thrust out of the spotlight
4
The Norwegian competitor is only 12 inches (30 centimeters) taller, yet that was enough to be number one
5
Today, ghostly looking Storelgen calmly reflects the Norwegian woods that surround him
6
The news reached the headlines pretty fast
7
But Canadians did not let it go that easily
8
Mac the Moose even got himself a Twitter account
9
Then more people started picking sides
10
Stephen Colbert sided with Norway by calling the Canadian moose a “papier-mache dog from an abandoned theme park”
11
But, being one of the friendliest countries on Earth, Norwegians themselves voted that they prefer Mac the Moose in a Norwegian newspaper poll
12
People enjoyed this rivalry
13
Which one’s your favourite?
