Hey, friends. This is Ellen Weatherford.

And Christian Weatherford.

And we're here with just the zoo of us, your favorite animal review podcast, where we take your favorite species of animals and review them and rate them out of 10 in the categories of effectiveness, ingenuity, and aesthetics.

We are not zoological experts, though we strive to provide you with information from

reputable sources. Yeah, that's right. And we're joined here in our little recording studio today

by a couple of special guests. We have our dog puppy and our cat Aki, who are not usually

both in here at the same time.

Yeah, hopefully this doesn't create drama, but we'll see.

Don't worry, I will expertly edit it out if they do.

Or we'll just change the categorization of our podcast from nature to drama.

Hopefully everything will work out fine.

I believe that you are up first this week, darling.

Yay.

So the animal I'm bringing this week is the moose.

Yes, I'm so excited.

Scientific name, Alsace, Alsace.

I love a good double name.

A little scientific, like a repetitive scientific

name. I love that. I just kind of defaulted to how I thought it would be pronounced in Spanish.

You're probably right. This species was submitted to us by email from Eva Nussbaum.

Thank you very much, Eva. And you also sent a very delightful little message in response to Isaac's

Dumering episode. So thank you for that. Thank you for reaching out. We really appreciate
