Where it sits
Among the 23 animals on this page moose ranks 16th from the top by size. The largest in the group is blue whale at 29.9 m, which is 14.2× the size of moose, while the smallest, honey bee, is 13 mm.
Stand an adult of 1.7 m beside it and the ratio is 1.24×: you would need 1 people stacked head to foot to match its size.
In everyday distances
It fits inside a football pitch 50 times over — a pitch is about 105 m and moose is only 2.1 m.
Walking at an easy 1.4 m/s you cover 2.1 m in 1.5 seconds. A jet at 900 km/h covers it in 8 milliseconds.
Next to its neighbours in size
The nearest thing larger than it in this collection is polar bear at 2.5 m (8.2 ft), 1.19× the size. Note the two figures are not the same measurement: for moose it is shoulder height, for polar bear it is body length.
The nearest thing smaller is human adult at 1.7 m (5.58 ft), so moose is 1.24× as big as it. They sit in the same group.
Against fixed yardsticks
Against three fixed yardsticks — Eiffel Tower (330 m) is 157× the size of moose; blue whale (29.9 m) is 14.2× the size of moose; Earth (12,742 km) is 6,067,619× the size of moose.
How this figure was taken
Animal sizes vary from one individual to the next, so each figure says which individual or average it describes. Heights are taken at the shoulder or standing; lengths run nose to tail tip unless stated.
How the sizes are taken. Each figure says what it measures — height, length, diameter or elevation — and for which individual or convention. Everything is drawn standing upright on one baseline so a single scale holds, including things that are long rather than tall. Values come from the linked Wikipedia article for each item.
