Ok, so here's a really stupid question from a city gal... The moose looks harmless, ok so they are HUGE and can basically hop over a 4-foot fence but it's not like they have fangs & claws.. I saw on your other post that they have killed a man... How do they attack and how does a tree help?


Oh and do they shed the antlers in the winter? - Just wondering since you couldn't tell if the one in your neighbor's yard was a male or female...

LOL, What is this "Ask Mr. Moose Man?"

Corinne, moose can weigh up to 1,500 pounds. They defend themselves by rearing up on their hind legs and launching their front legs forward. I saw a video on youtube where a moose and its calf stomped on a guy by just walking on him.

As for antlers, yes, they shed them every year. A lesson in ungulates: Anything with horns keeps them for life. Anything with antlers sheds them yearly.
