Its upper lip is wide, elongated, mobile, and fleshy - it serves as a gripper. The sloping nostrils point downwards. The eyes are small (the moose has poor vision), it recognizes changes in light intensity well (dawn and dusk), and the ears are up to 26 cm long and have pointed tips. The moose's neck is short and massive, allowing it to rotate its head within a wide range.
Hanging under the head on the neck is a fatty growth with long black hair. There is a visible hump on the back near the withers.
The moose's legs are very long and strong. They end with powerful, widely extendable hooves that make it easier for the animal to walk on muddy terrain, wetlands, and snow without collapsing.
