American Moose

The American Moose, also simply called the moose in North America, is the largest member of the deer family, known for its towering height, impressive antlers, and unique adaptations to cold climates. A female Moose is called a Cow Moose and is slightly smaller than a Bull Moose. A baby Moose is called a Calf and are typically born in late Spring.
Bull moose shed their antlers every year. Like cows, moose have a four-chambered stomach. They’re natural swimmers. A moose’s eyes are positioned toward either side of their head, like a horse. This placement creates large blind spots in front of them, putting moose at a disadvantage in terms of eyesight. They make up for this deficiency with exceptional hearing and sense of smell. Their sheer size and power make them a formidable presence in the wild, and they play an important role in North American ecosystems.
