Moose munching on icy twigs under the Northern Lights. Also know as the Aurora Borealis, these lights
are best viewed in the cold dark winter months in Alaska.
Moose are tall, long-legged and heavy-bodied animals. They stand six to seven feet tall at the withers and
can rest or sleep standing upright. On average, males, also called bulls, weigh around 1400 pounds, and
females, called cows, weigh around 950 pounds. Distinguishing physical characteristics include large,
widely spaced ears, a large drooping nose with prehensile muzzle, a "bell" or dewlap on the throat, and a
small tail. The subspecies found in Alaska, the tundra moose (Alces alces gigas). Moose depend more
on their acute senses of hearing and smell to detect activity around them then they do on their vision. They
exhibit monoscopic vision that necessitates bodily compensation (moving of the head and rolling the eyes)
to assess objects at close range. Antlers play a key role in visual signaling in moose, over long distances
and in open landscape, antlers can very effectively reflect light, especially when their velvet is shed in the
fall.

This print is treated with an ultra violent protective coating. It will be rolled and inserted into a mailing tube.
I will also insert a sheet with information about this print. The print will be mailed first class by the U.S.
Postal Service and insured.
