It turns out that it was surprisingly easy to move from one host to another. I'd love to think it's simply my own brilliance, but let's be honest here. Much of the work was easy because I had a copy of the data on my own PC. It was a bit out-of-date, but the general structure was in place. That saved a load of time, especially as I couldn't get FTP access to my prior host.
Not only are moose large and lovable, those thousand-pound beauties from Maine attain their size without eating meat. So I don't want to hear from any more vegetarians about how I can lose weight by cutting it out of my diet. Okay, I haven't really heard that from any vegetarians, but I wanted to be proactive.
In any case, it seems that the moose - and the plural of "moose" is indeed "moose", and not "mooses" or even "meese" - have another trick up their sleeve. Er, snout.
Ohio University professor Lawrence Witmer and a graduate student have determined that the evolutionary process of the moose has left them with the rather unique ability to close their nostrils underwater. Especially important when they go bobbing for underwater plant life, and even more impressive when you realize that moose nostrils can be up to four inches wide!
