This cute plastic moose is perfect for school dioramas!
Although moose vary in size and shape, they are the largest members of the deer family. Males weigh on average over 550kg (1200 lbs) and females often more than 400kg. Newborn calves weigh around 15kg but quickly increase in size. Their color varies from a little brown to a dusty black depending on the season and age of the animal. Young calves are often a light rusty colour. The moose has a long nose, drooping lip, hump at the shoulders and small tail. The flap of skin that hangs beneath the throat is called a BELL. The correct name for female moose is a COW, the male is called a BULL and the young moose is called a CALF. Mothers are extremely aggressive, probably due to the scarcity of food in the winter, their greatest threat to survival.
This nicely-detailed moose toy animal is made of solid white plastic with the colors painted on. It measures 2 inches nose to rump and stands 1 3/4 inches to the top of the antlers. This plastic animal toy is great for school projects, toys, novelties, animal collections, party favors and more. Our plastic herbivore is for decoration or play only. You can make a marvelous deer family shoebox diorama using this and other plastic creatures from our gift shop. Best of all, there is no mess, no feeding, and no tank or cage cleaning :) Be sure to look over our other moose toys and gifts.
