The moose is the largest member of the deer family, and the largest land mammal in the Northeast.
Bulls weigh from 600 to 1,200 pounds and stand up to 6 feet tall at the shoulder. Cows weigh from 500 to 800 pounds. Both sexes have long, grayish-white legs, dark brown or black bodies, and a dangling flap of skin under the throat called a bell.
Moose are solitary animals and do not form herds. Young moose sometimes migrate long distances after being forced out by older males who control the area in which they were born.
Female moose do not grow antlers, except in extremely rare cases.
