The civilians realized the moose had no strength and could not defend himself so they decided to take advantage of the moose. The narrator states "The children teased him with alder switches and he gazed at them like an old, tolerant collie". Also, the men tried to pour beer down his throat, while the women took pictures. The humiliation didn't stop there. The narrator goes on to state "And the bull moose let them stroke his tick-ravaged flanks, let them pry open his jaws with bottles, let a giggling girl plant a little purple cap of thistles on his head".

This also links to how the other characters respect him and show a certain amount of obedience to him and what he asks of them. The quote “he moved with a majesty only achieved by royalty and master craftsmen.” The words “majesty” and “royalty” are usually used when talking about important figures in society like monarchs for example.

They get all the liquids that they need from the animals that they eat. Polar bears are mostly solitary mammals except for female-cub groups, during mating season, and at abundant food sources. Cause In the past polar bears were hunted for their fur and meat. This caused a great decrease in the polar bear’s population.

In the beginning of the article, Pinker begins his topic by talking about how the words he has written down are now developing into some sort of sense into the readers mind. He then describes in detail how the structure and color of a male animal tends to alter when a female of the same species is spotted. The male then takes action and so on and so forth.
