Here are a few fun facts about Moose from Canadian Geographic.

• The moose is the largest member of the deer family.
• Moose have big-muscled bodies, but their legs are long and thin, which help them walk through deep snow in winter.
• Most moose have something called a “bell”—a piece of fur-covered skin about 30 centimetres long that hangs from their throats.
