The best of their efforts assessed that only 1 in every 1,000 had the ability to be domesticated so the program was dropped.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4912713243046142041.post-21314700165972808082015-06-23T20:01:07.123-05:002015-06-23T20:01:07.123-05:00Yes I see what you are talking about the wood stac...Yes I see what you are talking about the wood stack.

So much so, that when the Mongols were finally defeated, the rest of Asia outlawed the domestication of moose! And the source of your top picture there comes from a pair in Alberta.

I was unaware that other animals could be harnessed aside from horses, oxen, donkey, reindeer, and mules, etc. There are instances of people trying to ride elk, but however, most deer and animals like llamas and alpacha are unsuitable for riding mainly because their backs are more flexible than a horse's and would cause great discomfort to a rider (in fact as a tutorial for depicting people riding animals such as wolves and tigers, an artist had to point out wolves and cats alike have very flexible backs, look at a cheetah for such comparison). Plus the way an animal walks also determines the comfortability of riding on one (such as in the case of Paso Fino horse; they're the cadillac of horses). I haven't notice how a moose moves it's legs, but if it's similar to a camel's, then it would be a very bumpy ride, noting that most if not all of the pictures above are of moose harnessed to pull wagons and such, rather than riding.CloudSampsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05459873067554831037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4912713243046142041.post-8927939428814282862011-02-10T21:06:47.408-06:002011-02-10T21:06:47.408-06:00(... you might be doing Rudolph and the others out...(... you might be doing Rudolph and the others out of a job ...)Dr. Miekehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13507695484854521737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4912713243046142041.post-19124860379818314982011-02-10T21:05:36.913-06:002011-02-10T21:05:36.913-06:00Shhh ...
