Western Moose
Nez Perce Valley
The second biggest subspecies of the moose, the largest member of the deer family. Western moose have the biggest range among all North American subspecies. Most adult males have distinctive broad, palmate (“open-hand shaped”) antlers. Both male and female moose have dewlaps, also known as a “bell,” which grow under their jaw. Young males often have the largest bells, and their exact function remains a mystery.
