Although he lives in the wild, this timid, wide-eyed moose is anything but. While his friends go puddle jumping in the rain, he cowers under an umbrella, and he looks on shivering when others go skiing: ‘Not this moose. Too cold.’ Sensing he’s ‘missing out on something,’ the moose decides to ‘take life by the antlers’ and sets sail in a boat that breaks apart in a storm. Stranded on a remote island, he not only summons survival skills—foraging for food, building shelter and a fire-but happily swims and surfs with a new tortoise pal.
