The Rules

Posts must be:

Links to news stories from...
...credible sources, with...
...their original headlines, that...
...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

According to English Wikipedia, they are also known as wapitis and that's what European languages seem to call them (including mine).

Woah.. So do they also use the name moose? Or did I watch a translated version of the Holy Grail?
