Males are heavier ranging between 350 kg to 600 kg compared to the females at 250 kg to 400 kg.
Moose have four long legs with hooved feet at the bottom. Unusually, their front legs are actually longer than their back legs, which causes them to have a hump along their shoulders.
Short, dark brown hair covers the body of the moose. Although some subspecies of moose are slightly reddish while others can be close to black. There are also rare cases of white furred moose.
Moose have a dewlap hanging from their necks. The dewlap is basically a loose flap of skin covered in a strip of longer fur.
In the winter, moose sometimes look more grey in colour but this is because their fur is covered in a thin coating of frost caused by their breath, not because their colouring actually changes.
