These Two Moose Fought to the Death and Then Froze In a River

From Esquire

You know what watching the Democratic and Republican parties during the 2016 election was like? Watching two moose battle, their antlers locked until the second they both died and froze in a river.

Oh, wait.

In western Alaska, a man from Unalakleet came across these two moose frozen into the river with their antlers locked together, meaning they clearly were still fighting when they died.

"It appears that one of the brow tines (on the antler) penetrated and may have ended this (battle) fast, leaving the 'winner' with a 1000 lb headdress and probably pulled his head into the water where he drowned," Jeff Erickson, an acquaintance of the man who found the two moose, told Alaskan independent journalist Craig Medred.

Metaphors, metaphors everywhere.
