The museum in Whitehorse, Yukon Territory (Canada) has a cool display of the skeletons of two bull moose who died with their antlers locked.

Jon, That was MAD Magazine in the 1960s [or maybe early 1970s] <This reminds me of stories I heard about the dangers of kissing ... if both people involved have braces on their teeth> Their prediction of legs becoming vestigial organs due to absurd habituation to driving cars has pretty much come to pass for many Americans too. People were expected to look like self-righting bowling pins. The dead deer remind me of the two walrus, or maybe seals or some such species, which were fighting on the edge of the beach by the water. One ran for it and the other thought he had won, started to give pursuit, but a killer whale surged out of the water and nabbed him. The first had spotted the danger. It's hazardous to health to fight. Much better to agree to flip a coin or something. Mqurice
