... Nice view of a large Bull Moose resting in grass... not just Sweden’s most famous animal, they are the king of the forest... Sweden has the densest population of Moose in the World... there around 400,000 moose and about 100,000 are hunted each year... about the same number of moose are also born each year, so the population is stable... but believe it or not, seeing a wild moose can be difficult... there are many places that offer moose safari, which significantly increases your chances of having an encounter with the king of the forest... I wonder did you see this mighty animal on your vacation???😊 Thanks a lot Gian Luca and Raffaella! ♥(ˆ⌣ˆԅ)
The Moose is the largest member of the deer family. They reach 170 – 210 cm height at shoulder. Bulls weigh weigh 380 – 850 kg and cows weigh 200 – 360 kg.
Moose may live up to 25 years but because of the intensive hunting few moose survive to become older than 10 years. Since more bulls are hunted only 5-10% of the bulls reach the age of 5 years, but cows often become 10 or even 20 years old.
