Wyoming's Grand Teton National Park teems with life large and small. And the creature standing riverside in our image most certainly belongs in the first category. Moose are the bulkiest members of the deer family, trouncing their relatives in size. Cows, like the one shown, can sometimes weigh as much as 450 kilograms, and bulls can weigh in at well over 680 kilograms. And when a bull's antlers are fully grown, they may span nearly two metres. There's good reason our moose friend here is hanging out down by the river – at least half of this herbivore's diet consists of aquatic plants that provide the needed sodium not found in terrestrial vegetation
