Book Description
Moose are still out there. Originally released into Fiordland in 1910, Moose were thought to have become extinct several times. Ken Tustin has been fascinated with the "Fiordland Moose" since first hearing about them while working as a biologist for Forest Research NZFS, over forty years ago.Ken has now recorded 70 sightings of Moose where previously only about a dozen were thought to have occurred. In the entire 100 years since their introduction only three bulls and two females were thought to have been shot, Ken has now recorded 30. Illustrated with many historic and unique photographs the book traces the fascinating storyof Moose in New Zealand from introduction to the present day, celebrating 100 years of Moose in New Zealand.
