Moose Sightings in La Ceiba

It appears that global warming and climate change have affected changes in wildlife populations in Central America with the reported sightings of moose in La Ceiba.

Additionally, there are verified reports of gross abuse of these moose which appear to have barely survived their long migration south.

In one sighting, the animal was fenced in with Walt Disney characters and appears to be gravely ill while in another sighting it is obvious that the moose was killed for its antlers.
Apparently Hondurans did not realize that moose are incapable of substituting for reindeer and suffer gross indignities and tragic death when forced to do so.

You know that this is just a farce folks but sometimes I’m just amazed by what I see while living here!

Yes, there was a large Christmas display put up at the San Juan bus depot, on a very busy avenue for all passers by to see which included dear old St. Nick and an entourage of cartoon characters, wooden toy soldiers and even a couple of very blue looking polar bears.

I’m left with the impression that someone thought that a moose was close enough in bearing to pose as one of Santa’s reindeer but my burning question is: Where did they get them?!?

The La Ceiba tourist trolley mounted moose head is what I find the most curious.
Do you see where someone has spray painted its nose yellow?
Is this for a pseudo headlight or is it masquerading as Rudolph, with his nose so bright?

Some questions will never be answered!

Blessed be, Stephanie
