What) Mac the
Moose is a fibreglass moose in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan. It is
claimed to be the world's largest moose at 32 feet (9.8 m)
tall and a weight of approximately 10 tons. The project
to create Mac was completed in May 1984. Mac was recently
moved and is now located just off of the Trans-Canada highway
next to the Moose Jaw visitors' center. While Mac has been
vandalized many times, he still stands and proudly represents
the city. (1)
Why) Originally, this item was not on the
Buckys list but for some reason Pam and I started talking
about Mac during the short drive from Regina to Moose
Jaw. Pam became convinced that the sculptor and or the
City of Moose Jaw would never permit the existence of an
anatomically correct
Mac. In the new spirit of Buckys, I convinced Pam that
we needed to pull off the highway and check it out.
