A bull moose walks through the colorful fall tundra in Alaska

Alaska Bull Moose

Did you know moose in Alaska are larger than those in other parts of the US? Once I'd read this, I couldn't wait to find out for myself. While this wasn't the largest moose I saw while I was up there, it was the most cooperative. In September, the bull moose were busy patrolling the valleys, sparring with other bulls, and looking for cows to call their own. The fall colors really shine up in Alaska, with the tundra transforming into hues of red, orange and yellow.

I traveled to Alaska eager to see the sheer size of the Alaskan moose (Alces alces gigas) firsthand, as they are notably larger than those found elsewhere in the Lower 48. Though not the largest bull I encountered, this one proved the most cooperative. In September, with the tundra blazing in hues of red, orange, and yellow, this impressive bull was busy patrolling his territory, his eyes sharp and his antlers polished for the rut.
