Moose Hooves and Legs: Great Adaptations — 4 Comments

    • I don’t recall the dimensions of the hoof offhand, but the photo of a moose track has a nickel in it for scale so you can get an idea of the track size. The diameter of a nickel is about 0.84 inches. Obviously calf feet are much smaller.

  1. The dewclaws in the front legs are attachatached to a special bone , that when dried ,is a great tool for opening letters . Moose are the only animals with this bone about 6.5 inches long
