Moose Plastic Replica

F1731 B39 - Moose, 4 3/8-inch plastic replica

US $9.00

International Orders Welcome

This engaging, realistic-looking plastic moose is made of flexible plastic so that even its wide-branching antlers are not likely to cause any damage to your kids or your home. The antlers and legs can be bent easily, and they snap back to their original position. Our toy moose is 4 3/8 inches long, and stands 4 1/4 inches tall from the ground to the height of his tallest antler. From the ground to his humped back is about 3 1/8 inches. This moose is great for school wildlife projects, gifts, toys, party decorations, for your animal collection and more. This moose is a male. It is made in Germany, which why you'll find the word "Elk" stamped into the plastic. No to confuse anyone, but in Europe, what we refer to as a "moose" is called an "alce" or "elk." Check out our other moose toys and gifts.

Although moose vary in size and shape, they are the largest members of the deer family. Males weigh on average over 550kg (1200 lbs) and females often more than 400kg. Newborn calves weigh around 15kg but quickly increase in size. Their color varies from a little brown to a dusty black depending on the season and age of the animal. Young calves are often a light rusty color. The moose has a long nose, drooping lip, hump at the shoulders and small tail, so you can see that the details in our model moose are quite accurate. Our collectible moose even has cloven hooves. The flap of skin that hangs beneath the throat is called a BELL. The correct name for a female moose is a COW; the male is called a BULL, and the young moose is called a CALF. Mothers are extremely aggressive, probably due to the scarcity of food in the winter, their greatest threat to survival.
