now that is the life (minus the snakes)

[TalvellaMaa]

There are snakes that far north?! We have no snakes in Alaska because its too cold for them to live, yet they live in Norway?! It's even colder in Norway! So how are there snakes?!

[0poi0]

@TalvellaMaa Good question! I always thought there WERE snakes in Alaska- just fewer than in the lower 48. Although most parts of Norway have colder winters than, say, Juneau, few parts of Norway have winter temperatures like Alaskan towns such as Fairbanks. Compared to the latter, we have milder winters and cooler summers. Central Scandinavia is the extreme northern limit of the European Adder, which presumably has a very hard time during our winters!

[TalvellaMaa]

@0poi0 Huh, thats interesting. Thanks for the information!

@TalvellaMaa where i live, around 200km north of the arctic circle, snakes doesn't exist.

0poi0 A 1000 "thank you's" for the uploads, I'm greatly enjoying each episode! One correction though; Elk is not know as Moose in North America, it is known as Elk; two different animals.

[0poi0]

@drtisbeter : Glad you're enjoying these uploads. I see you've picked up on the Moose/Elk controversy! Alces alces is known as "Elk" in Europe and "Moose" in North America. Cervus canadensis is known as "Elk" in North America and "Wapiti" in many other places. You are right, though: what an American would call an Elk, and what an American would call a Moose are two different animals :)

@0poi0 They are both good eating though. I prefer Moose. Though the wolves have been really hard on the populations of both recently.
