November 21, 2014 is Alascattalo Day. It
is described as a day to honor humor in general and Alaskan humor
in particular. The day is named after 'alascattalo', said to be
the genetic cross between a moose and a walrus. It has been
celebrated in Anchorage for over 25 years.
A mild-mannered moose named Morris met a witty walrus named
Wanabelle. It was love at first sight, and soon the moose and the
walrus were wed in the church down the way. Within sixty weeks,
Morris and Wannabelle welcomed into the world a wee little weeble
who made their love complete, and the first Alascattalo was born.
