In 1908, the photo of the then President Theodore Roosevelt crossing the river sitting on a moose was quite popular. Before we take it any further, it is necessary for you to note that this photo is fake! It was made as a political ad that turned into a big joke. Moose was the political mascot of the opposition party. In reality, it is the outcome of two photographs: one is Pres. Roosevelt sitting on a horse and other of a moose crossing a river.
