Click on image to zoom in
President Roosevelt tells Clarence Hawkes that he is not precisely sure what evidence he based his statement on about moose galloping, as the book in which he made that statement was written so long ago. Roosevelt guesses that he made it on hearsay evidence and on a set of footprints of a young moose, but admits that young animals often act in ways that older animals do not.
