Moose are the largest deers species, easily recognized by their long legs, elongated head and snout, and large shovel-like (palmated) antlers. Males feature a dewlap, which is a fatty piece of skin under the chin. Moose are commonly found in most of the Northern Hemisphere, and thrive in temperate and subarctic climates. They often reach a height of 2.00 m and weigh between 200.00 kg to 500.00 kg. Moose are herbivorous and typically solitary, rarely forming groups. Although they are often slow-moving and calm animals, they can easily become aggressive if startled or threatened. When hunting moose, shot placement is essential as they are very tough and surprisingly nimble.
