Believe it or not..but the plural of moose is actually "moose." Some nouns, mainly names of birds, fishes, and mammals, have the same form in the plural as in the singular: bison, deer, moose, sheep, swine.... Sorry you lost that bet.

The plural of moose, is moose. One of those words where the plural doesn't change, like sheep and fish.
It comes from the Abenaki (in North America) word "mos".
