Moose pictures a load of bull

No it isn't, the photo in the article is genuine, it was taken by Max Curtis in Fiordland 1952. It's quite famous.

There was more than one photo in the original article - but usual honest MSM, they've deleted it without notice. They had the photo in the the link in my post about the hoax, it even fooled Ken

one photo shows trees in back ground certainly look more Alaskan than Fiordland

The Herald have disappeared the hoax photo from the article, and haven't left a footnote to say what they did.

It was Ken that busted that other photo as a fake it should be pointed out.

It was surprising he wasn't sceptical from the off, looking at the trees in the background. At least they didn't end up in his book.

The only way to be believed if you actually were to see a moose in fiordland (assuming there were still some to see) would be to shoot it and then have the carcass delivered to relevent people with the blood still dripping off it.
Then someone might almost believe you!

to believe that one could see a moose in Fiordland means you need to believe that a moose can live for in excess of 75 years plus - or a viable population of moose have lived there undetected for the last 75 years - no proof exists simple as that - no photo zilch - yes seen photos of supposed browse lines nah no photos no DNA evidence nothing -- now UFO.s

There was DNA evidence from samples submitted, back in 2001/2002: https://www.stuff.co.nz/nz-news/3501...g-south-island

All the evidence over the years suggests a few animals that had hung on but were declining in number over time. The evidence in the recent decade or so has been a lot less compelling, and some has been a hoax or just wishful thinking, unfortunately:

deep in a hidden valley in our Fiordland Norsk is a lost tribe who worship the moose called the fuckarewe -they originally are said to have come from a remote country called Vorvay - they are said to have a last pet moose a reminder of their homeland - hunters at night have heard their plantive calls on the wind wherethefuckarewe wherethefuckarewe
