If you think you can pet a moose your are wrong. But it is fun to see moose from our window. Moose are members of the deer family. They are 5 to 7 feet tall at the shoulders. Moose have long legs for walking through the deep snow and water, for swimming, running and kicking to protect themselves.
Bull moose grow antlers.
They loose, or shed, their antlers in the winter. They use their antlers to defend themselves. The older the moose the bigger the antlers. Antlers are hard, they are made of bone. Moose can live for 20 to 25 years.
