Critter Clues

I can weigh up to 1,200 pounds — as much as a car!

I have a flap of skin, known as a bell, that sways underneath my throat.

My hooves help me stay stable in the snow and marshy ground, acting as snowshoes!

Even though I am very big, I am a great swimmer and can sometimes swim for several miles.

I am an herbivore, so I eat tall grasses and shrubs in the summer and shrubs and pinecones in the winter.

Despite my size, I can run very fast: up to 35 miles per hour!

Although my eyesight isn’t very good, I have a great sense of smell and hear very well.
