Moose are very large, sturdy, and strong animals. They stand from hoof to shoulder as high as a fully grown man, at about six feet. Their bones are large and bodies muscular. Females are smaller than males, usually weighing from 800 to 1200 pounds as adults. Although they can grow larger, male adults range from 1200 to 1600 pounds, on average.
Moose are animals that live in herds during breeding season in the wild, although they typically appear solitary or at a distance from other members of the herd. In fact, they are the most solitary and antisocial animals in the wild, outside of breeding. During mating season, males form their own herds of females called “harem herds.” Males fight each other for the right to mate with a harem.
