Title: How to Paint a Moose
Post by: misterqueue on August 07, 2006, 03:28:44 pm

I am Educational (http://maxmagnusnorman.com/artist_blog/art_day_188.shtml), Educational for you!

Mostly I am amused by the idea of sneaking up on a moose.  Those fuckers are big.

They have large blind spots, I would imagine.  Also, that's a really good idea.  Nature could certainly use some help on the aesthetic front from time to time, and meese are certainly a prime example.

Really I just want to paint some kind of "KillaMoose 412 Represent!" on a bunch of them.

Like a ghetto moose gang...  maybe then release them in New York.  I am basically the worst performance artist ever.

Man, this thread had me reaching for the "delete" button before I realised that this wasn't an email.

Actually, my understanding is that all these hoofstock prey animals can pretty much see all around the sides to the back of them, because of the way their eyes are set on the sides of their heads. There is a diagram here (http://www.earthlife.net/mammals/vision.html) for example (scroll down a bit.).

And they said that we shouldn't be about education.  I learn something every day.

The reason mules are used as pack animals for treacherous trails (example: the Grand Canyon) is because they are able to see all four of their feet and thus make fewer missteps than hosss.
