As most male moose do each winter or spring, our 4-year-old Alaska moose, Atka, has shed his antlers! We want you to guess how much they weigh for a chance to eet Atka up close or virtually! Use the form below to enter your guess for the combined weight of both of his antlers.

One person who guesses the closest combined weight of his antlers will win your choice of a 30-minute encounter with Atka for up to four people or a personalized meet-and-greet video with Atka and his keepers. (See Rules below).

In pounds and ounces, how much do Atka’s antlers weigh this year?

This contest is now closed.

CMZoo’s aging Canada moose, Tahoma, is doing well at his impressive age. Rocky Mountain Wild Keeper, Basia Dann, walks us through some of 12-year-old Tahoma’s training and specialized care – and gives us the inside scoop on when to watch out for Tahoma’s annual antler shed.
