Description:    A moose eats and drinks at his favorite spot off the Old Glenn Highway near
Palmer, 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. It will be mailed first
class by the U.S. Postal Service and insured.
