Moose Size and Physical Characteristics
The moose (Alces alces), also known as Eurasian Elk is European countries, is the largest is of all the deer species with the males (bulls) weighing 900 to 1600 lbs and females (cows) weighing 500 to 800 lbs. The average shoulder height (length from bottom of foot to shoulder) of these large animals is between 6 and 7 ft tall.
The fur coat of a moose can vary from being a light tan color to dark brown, almost black. They can be most easily identified by looking for their skinny legs and the prominent hump on their back. Look below to see a photo of what a typical moose looks like in the wild.

Moose can be found throughout the majority of the Canadian provinces, northern parts of the continental United States, as well as parts of northern Europe and Asia.
What Do Moose Eat?
Moose are herbivores, meaning their diet consists of only plant-based material. They will typically feed on what's available to them in their surroundings. Some of the common things moose eat are aquatic plants, leaves, shrubs, forbs, trees, bark, willows, lillies, and herbs. Remember, these are BIG animals and their food intake must provide enough energy and nutrients to sustain their body. On average, a healthy moose will consume 70 lbs of food a day.
Moose only inhabit the northern hemisphere and as such have adapted well to their cold environment. Using their large, thick hooves they will dig into the snow during winter to uncover food. These hooves also help the moose to traverse the snow covered wilderness by spreading their body weight out, much like the principle behind show shoes.
Interesting Moose Facts
The moose is an incredible animal with many interesting features. Read these moose facts below to learn what makes this species so unique.
- At full speed, a healthy moose can run up to 35 mph, outrunning many of their natural predators such as wolves.
- Even with their heavy bodies, moose are very capable swimmers, reaching speeds of 5 to 6 mph. One of the features that helps them swim is their hollow hair, which adds buoyancy when swimming.
- Moose don't have incisors on the upper part of their jaw.
- The antlers of a moose are among the most complex in nature and can weight up to 70 lbs.
- Unlike other deer species, moose are typically solitary animals and don't travel in herds.
- A moose can live up to 20 years, although the average lifespan is between 6 and 7.
Moose Antler Growth and Information
Bull moose use their antlers to compete with others in hopes of gaining the right to court with a cow during the mating season (rut). After the rut is over and the antlers are no longer needed, they will begin to shed them. This usually takes place between autumn and early winter.
If you've ever seen moose antlers, you'll probably notice how they are almost "webbed". Unlike other species of deer, moose produce antlers that are flat and sometimes webbed. Scientists have observed and studied moose and have determined that these antlers act as hearing aids by channeling the sound into their ears.
