This moose was really far away. Looks like he has been in a fight. He is still here, does that mean he won. Moose are among the largest animals in the Northern Hemisphere. Adult males may weigh as much as 1500 pounds (680 kilograms). Average weights for adult males are closer to 1000 pounds (450 kg) and 800 pounds (360 kg) for adult females. The largest moose live in Alaska. Only bull moose grow antlers. Adult moose can run as fast as 35 miles per hour. They are excellent swimmers and can cross large expanses swimming up to 6 miles per hour for two hours at one time.
