Moose truce: Canada's Mac the Moose will hold the title for tallest moose statue, but Norway's is 'sexier'
After holding the record for 31 years, Moose Jaw’s Mac the Moose lost his title of world’s tallest moose in 2015 to the silver elk “Storelgen” in Stor-Elvdal. Norway’s statue stands at 10.1 m tall -- just 30 centimetres taller than Mac.
Despite Mac the Moose currently being shorter, the proposed agreement outlines how Mac – after his upcoming alterations -- will “forevermore be known as the tallest Moose in the world.” But Storelgen will be the “shiniest and most attractive Moose in the world.” Wednesday’s truce is a far cry from the sentiments Henriksen expressed in a video sent to CTVNews.ca in January: “Sorry to disappoint you guys. We are going to continue our work to make sure that our moose is the biggest moose in the world -- for many years to come.”
