Image: British Library on Flickr As I'm sure you can see, our blog has been inactive for quite a long time. It'll probably remain that way. However, I am gradually working through the posts, from new to old, to remove broken links. If you find any new moose links, please send them to me in the comments and I'll take a look. Thanks!

I was looking around for some new moose puzzles, and came across some sites selling moose-themed jigsaw puzzles. Here are a couple of fun ones. I have no connection to any of these vendors; I just came across their websites and thought the products looked like fun. Animal Den&nbsp;has had a wood puzzle for young kids. Looks like about 25 pieces, and it's a simple but not cartoonish design. (This

I've never seen people in the moose cam before, so I found this interesting.I also just came across this Yankee magazine article about a too-close encounter with moose, specifically someone who joined "the drivers-who've-hit-a-moose-in-a-vehicle club." He joined in New England, but writes that car-moose collisions are a big problem in Sweden, where automobile engineers have developed a moose

Only one moose in the moose cam today, but isn't it a beauty? The Connecticut Department of Environmental Protection has a section for kids. It includes a page with some fun facts on moose. (I've heard of Huskies in Connecticut, but who knew there are moose there?)

Have you been checking the moose cam? Lately I haven't seen any moose--either because there's no activity or because I've forgotten to look until after dark. But just now there were SIX moose in the frame! A moment before this screen shot, all six were in the foreground. At this point, three of them are walking away from the camera; I like this screen shot because we can see where the moose

We've still been thinking about places to see live moose. Gunflint Trail (logo at left) is in northern Minnesota, but that's not the only place in the US to see moose. Mooseworld has an extensive list of travel destinations where moose sightings are likely. These include national parks (Denali, anyone?), state parks, and resort areas in the United States, as well as some locations in

Okay, these are just too cool not to share! Both are from the Yankee Magazine website (as is the photo on this post).&nbsp;&nbsp;(image no longer available) Moose in Maine: Where Are They? is exactly that--where to find moose in Maine. Maine's Moose Country describes the three stages of comprehension when one sees a moose in the wild. There are moose spotting tips and some facts about moose.

This word search puzzle is about Canada, but includes "moose" as well as other vocabulary about Canada. Check it out at sunniebunniezz.com . Here's a puzzle of a different sort.

Looks as though there are some technical difficulties with the Moose Cam. We link to it and have no control over it, so we'll just keep an eye on the feed and see if it comes back. In the meantime, check out the other links in previous posts.

MontanaKids.com has a full page of moose facts and photos. There's some interesting information, like this: Baby moose (which are called calves) weigh up to 30 pounds when born, then reach a weight of 300 to 400 pounds before their first autumn!While we're talking about Montana moose, check out this close-up photo of a moose in Montana. Look at those antlers!

Have you seen the moose web cam on this page? (Look toward the lower right part of this page.) We're getting the feed from Moose Garden, which is in Sweden. Because of the difference in time zones, the image is often dark when I look at it. If you're in the United States, check it out in the morning and maybe you'll catch a real-time glimpse of live moose.

"You find yourself dropped in a strange room once more, but are you smart enough this time to open the door..."Loose the Moose is an "escape the room" game. It's a challenging logic puzzle, and it's lots of fun. Enjoy!

Here's something a little different. Have you heard about the New Hampshire Moose Parade?The moose are decorated by art students, and each moose has a different theme. Check them out here . I'm partial to the Wild Moose Chase, of course, but there are many other designs that I really like, as well.

Here at Wild Moose headquarters, we're busy baking cookies for Christmas. So naturally we went online in search of moose-related cookies.We found these adorable Ginger Moose cookies from Rebecca Russell.These "cocoa-rich, intense" moose-dropping cookies aren't quite as adorable (and the title on the original recipe isn't, either), but the recipe sounds delicious.Cabela's sells this cute moose

We found this fun word search puzzle on the website of the South Central Service Co-op. The puzzle can be solved interactively or printed, and of course all of the words relate to moose. You might even learn some new moose vocabulary; I know I did!Have fun!

Two links for today!National Geographic has lots of facts about moose, including a printable fact sheet and an audio clip (see the Multimedia area) in which you can hear a moose.And, just for fun, here's a link for Moose Tracks ice cream. It's inspired by moose ... it's ice cream ... what could be better than that? I think my favorite would have to be Extreme Moose Tracks. Which flavor looks best
