The Alaskan moose is a subspecies of the moose we see around Spokane. They're also known as, you guessed it, giant moose. On average male Alaskan moose are nearly 7-feet tall at the shoulder and weigh more than 1,400 pounds. The largest ever shot in the Yukon was 7.6 feet tall and 1,806 pounds.10 Aug 2018
