Moose are the largest members of the deer family–and they are large! The most massive moose are 7 feet (2 m) tall at the shoulder and weigh 1,300 pounds (600 kg). These herbivores aren’t always gentle. They can use their colossal bodies to defend themselves from black bears, wolves, and other carnivores. Even hunters fear moose because angry moose sometimes can’t be stopped by guns! This informative book, including a graphic organizer and essential science vocabulary, is a fresh look at the magnificent mammal called the moose.
