MOOSE
The moose , Alces alces, is the largest member of the deer family Cervidae, distinguished from the others by the palmate antlers of its males. Moose are typical of boreal and mixed deciduous forests of the Northern Hemisphere in temperate to subarctic climates. The great length of the legs gives a decidedly ungainly appearance to the moose. The muzzle is long and fleshy, with only a very small triangular naked patch below the nostrils; and the males have a peculiar sac, known as the bell, hanging from the neck.Male moose (bulls) average 500 kg (1,100 lb) and females (cows) usually weigh about 400 kg (880 lb). The typical moose stands about 1.9 meters (6.2 feet) at the shoulder. Calves weigh around 15 kg (33 lb) at birth but quickly increase in size. Only the males have antlers, often 160 cm (64 inches) across and 20 kg (44 lb) in weight with a broad, flattened palmate shape fringed in up to 30 tines.
