Imposing and robust, the moose is the largest of the deer. It is recognizable by its massive silhouette, its long legs and especially by its wide, flat antlers, which can reach up to two meters in span in males. Found in the forests and swampy areas of North America, Europe and Asia, it is perfectly adapted to cold climates. A herbivore, the moose feeds on leaves, twigs, bark, and aquatic plants, which it seeks out even in lakes and rivers. Surprisingly, it is an excellent swimmer and can travel long distances in the water to feed or flee danger. In autumn, males fight during the rut, clashing their antlers in impressive combat. This Papo figurine realistically reproduces the majestic appearance of the moose: detailed fur, long, thin legs, and imposing antlers. An ideal model to enrich a collection of wild animals, invent stories in the heart of the boreal forest, or educate children about the richness of northern wildlife.
