Moose or moused?

[Tagger]

This came via email in the last couple of days. I am wondering if the moose is really this large or if these photos were tampered with? I know they get big. But good grief!

"Look at this Moose! By the length of his beard and the grey legs, I figure he must be over10 years old. He looks to be well over 8 feet at the top of the shoulderhump, and with his head up, the height to the top of his antler must beabout 12 feet ..This guy is king of the forest. No bear or pack of wolves would dare come after him when he has thisrack! ......Considering that a dirt road can fit a car across ... this fellowis HUGE ...THIS IS ONE BIG BOY! THE PICTURE WAS TAKEN IN ELLIOT LAKE , ONTARIO CANADA Yes it is a regular size dirt road."
