    The plural of “moose” is also “moose” but it’s not because of English. Moose derives from Algonquian, a Native American language. It kept the same plural ending it had in its original language instead of adopting the normal “s” ending of most English plurals.

      I believe the plural of “moose” is actually “meese”.
