Moose

The North American moose is the largest member of the Cervidae family, which also includes elk and deer. Powerfully built, bulls can stand six feet, three inches at the shoulder and weigh over 1,300 pounds. One of the most notable characteristics of this large fellow is his large antlers. Interestingly, moose do not always shed their antlers annually as most deer do. Moose are generally solitary animals and only congregate during mating season. During this time of year, males engage in violent rutting to win the right to mate. Moose mainly feed on aquatic plants, which is why they can be found living near bogs and marshlands.
