How Fast Is Moose?

Moose run at 56 km/h on land and swim at 10 km/h. Their long legs make them one of the most striking large mammals in the northern wilderness; collisions with vehicles are a serious concern across Canada and Scandinavia.

Moose are surprisingly strong swimmers — capable of 10 km/h in water and remaining submerged for 30 seconds at a time.

• Slightly slower than a greyhound
• Strong swimmers despite their size
