A bull moose a few miles past the park headquarters chows on willow. Moose are best known for their antlers. Antlers will drop off before winter, but the next year male moose will develop even bigger antlers. They are their fastest growing organ. Antlers are heavy and large. They weigh 50-60 pounds and grow up to 6 feet in the width. The main purpose of antlers is to attract females and to defeat other males fighting for their affection during the rutting season in September.
