Shy moose given assertiveness training
Edited on Sun Jul-11-04 04:49 AM by ps1074
A Dutch zoo has given a shy young moose assertiveness training to help him fit in with the herd.

Emmen Zoo recently bought Kenwood the moose from a zoo in Toronto, reports De Telegraaf.

But when he was put in the moose enclosure he was immediately bullied by a female called Winya.

"She's a real bitch," said biologist Agaath Kooi. "She ran after Kenwood and kicked and bit him wherever she could. And although Kenwood is much bigger than her, he let it all happen."
