VASCULARIZATION OF THE MOOSE BELL
The vascularization of the moose (Alces alces) bell was examined by gross dissection following injection of vinyl acetate into the arterial and venous systems and by radiological photography. In a total of 28 heads, the bell artery originated from the left lingual artery in 15 (10 males, 5 females)...

It receives one or two major branches from the dewlap and joins either the right or left jugular vein in the lower neck. We suggest that a change in bell shape results from a portion being lost by freezing due to limited vascularization in the bell tail.
