This is strange since we have > plenty of car/moose collisions here.. From: http://www.saab.com/main/GLOBAL/en/pressreleases_archive.xml?id=9 (begin excerpt) "Another, more familiar Saab test is the moose crash test. In Sweden, an average of more than ten collisions between cars and moose occur every day. Since the early 1990s, Saab has therefore been running a crash test in its ordinary range of tests in which the car travelling at 70 km/h collides with a 380 kg moose dummy. Saab began developing the moose crash test together with the Swedish Road and Transport Research Institute (VTI) back in 1981 and is now evolving, still with the VTI, a new version of the 'moose'."
