Moose Facts
The Moose is the Official State Animal of Maine.
Moose are large even-toed herbivorous mammals, the largest of the deer family. Moose have very poor eyesight but their hearing and sense of smell are excellent. Moose vary in size and shape. Their color varies from a little brown to a dusty black depending on the season and age of the animal. Calves in comparison are often a light rusty color. They shed their winter coats in May-June , giving their coat a ragged look.
