Moose-hunting in Canada - a Bull Moose feeding, 1858. Creator: Unknown.

Moose-hunting in Canada - a Bull Moose feeding, 1858. Male moose '...feeding among the lily-pods in autumn...The moose is the largest of the deer tribe, sometimes attaining the weight of one thousand pounds, and is the largest wild animal frequenting the forests of America...During the summer months moose are fond of frequenting the lakes and rivers, partly for the purpose of escaping from the tormenting flies and to avoid injuring their antlers, but chiefly because such localities afford an abundance of grassy food...The rutting season commences in September, when the males do a great deal of hard fighting...Their antlers begin to sprout in April, and complete their growth in July; they sometimes expand five feet nine inches, and the weight of a large pair may be stated at seventy pounds'. From "Illustrated London News", 1858.
