Moose are typically very tall animals, with their height measured at the shoulder. On average, adult moose stand about 6 to 7 feet tall at the shoulder. The tallest subspecies, the Alaskan moose, can reach heights of around 7 feet and even up to 7 feet 8 inches at the shoulder. Other subspecies like the Eastern and Western moose generally stand around 6 to 6.5 feet tall at the shoulder. To summarize:

• Alaskan moose: around 7 feet tall, with the largest recorded at 7 feet 8 inches
• Eastern and Western moose: about 6 to 6.5 feet tall
• The smallest subspecies, Shiras moose, measure around 6 feet tall

This height is just to the shoulder; their head and antlers can add significantly more vertical height when the animal is alert and standing fully upright.
