Moose Adaptation Model-Antlers

Moose Adaptation Model-Antlers

We have been looking at animal adaptations and how they survive in the wild.  My adaptation is the Moose Antler model.  I have made a clay model, This is my non painted clay model.  I have found information about Moose antlers, I will tell you some facts.

The largest Moose antlers are from the Alaska Moose with Antlers with a span of 6 feet.  Bulls in their prime, between ages 5 and 8, have the largest racks.  

Males are immediately recognizable by their huge antlers, which can spread 6 feet (1.8 meters) from end to end.  Female Moose do not have antlers, Male Moose are incredibly strong.   Male Moose use their antlers to battle for female and to fight predators.
