Logging in Alaska

 
I know nothing about this picture, other than it is Alaska, but I assume an orphan Moose was raised up and trained to pull a skid.  An amazing rig, that's for sure!

Update:  Snopes says the picture is a fake (see comment for URL), which may be true, but I am not fully saluting Snopes on this one, as there is too much documentation of Moose as beasts of burden.  In fact, Teddy Roosevelt even rode one -- see bottom picture!
