Mooseling

Gently, with a hand on its furry neck, the three- or four-day-old mooseling was towed back to the shore where the distraught mother was thrashing and stomping among the trees.

[M]oose and man are alike as caring parents, and the beast's tragedy, which the man has caused, smites the man's conscience and strengthens his resolve to be a good parent to mooseling as well as child.

[O]ur only visitor on the whole trip was a big moose and her mooseling, more interested in nibbling the brush than bothering us.
