===Skin and fur===
Moose skin is typical of the [[Cervidae|deer family]]. Moose fur consists of four types of hair: [[eyelash]]es, [[whiskers]], [[guard hair]]s and [[wool]] hairs. Hair length and hair density varies according to season, age, and body region.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Sokolov |first1=V. E. |last2=Chernova |first2=O.
