Elgar
is a half-grown moose calf who looks a bit clumsy and helpless. He has bandy legs and wags his little tail when he is really happy, which is almost all the time. Sometimes he does silly things, but that is only because he is a little scatterbrained and does not realise they are silly. Underneath he has a heart of gold. Elgar gets cold easily so his friends the pixies knitted him a jumper. Elgar did not understand why the jumper did not grow when he did and now it is to small. But he loves it so much that he will not take it off or get a new one. Elgar is friends with most of the creatures in the forest, the elves, the little trolls, the dryads and the little people. The only one he is a bit scared of is the nasty water sprite, the Nix, who can turn himself into a water-luly and lure creatures out into deep water.

Edwin is Elgar's best friend and together they make a lot of fuss. Their favourite thing is to do the moose-dance before they quickly slide down a hill covered with snow. Even though they run into each other and hurt themselves a little on the way down, they start laughing as soon as they get to the bottom of the hill. The fox fright-fully watches the friends having fun. Elgar is also always more than welcome to visit the the santa-family.

The real moose
The moose, (Alces alces), is Norway's largest mammal on land with a shoulder-height
of more than 2 meters and a weight up to around 750 kilos. Its body is short, but it has
very long legs. The fur is dark grey or dark brown. Only the male has antlers.
The moose lives in the forest and feeds on leaves, branches and herbs.
The female carries her children for nine months, and sometime between May and June
she gives birth to one or two calves. The stock of moose has increased over the last years.
They can now be found in the forest areas all over Norway. The hunting season varies a little
from county to county, but normally it lasts for 27 days in the period between
September 10th and October 15th. As many as 39 423 moose were killed in 1999.
