A wild stare
Have you ever experienced the awe of seeing an Alaskan moose? The largest moose species, these creatures can weigh between 300 and 700 kilograms, reaching heights of over 1 metre at the shoulder. Male moose are called bulls, females are known as cows and their young are referred to as calves. One thing that really sets moose apart is their incredible antlers, which are only sported by the males.
