velvet
No, moose horn is not made of ivory. Moose antlers are composed of bone and are shed and regrown annually, while ivory is a dense, hard material primarily derived from the tusks of animals such as elephants and walruses. Moose antlers are typically covered in a layer of velvet during growth, which is eventually shed as the antlers mature.

The antlers defend the moose.
Only males really have antlers.
no, they dont have antlers
Since moose loose their antlers, they start growing them right away.
The correct answer depends on what time of the year you saw the bull moose. After the Fall rutting season the antlers fall off. The moose will then grow a new set of antlers in the Spring.
Moose do not lose their horns; instead, they grow antlers, which are shed and regrown annually. Male moose typically grow their antlers during the spring and summer, and they shed them in late winter. The shedding of antlers is a natural part of their life cycle, and new antlers will begin to grow soon after. Female moose do not have antlers.
Moose use their antlers primarily for mating displays and fighting during the rutting season. They will also use their antlers to defend themselves or their territory from predators or other moose. Additionally, moose may use their antlers to forage for food by pushing aside branches or vegetation.
Male moose (bulls) are typically larger and have antlers, while female moose (cows) are generally smaller and do not have antlers. Bulls use their antlers for defending territory and during mating season. Bulls also tend to have a more prominent hump on their shoulders.
