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.
