[1] It is claimed to be the world's largest moose at 10.36 metres (34.0 ft) tall[2] and a weight of approximately 10 long tons (10,000 kg).
[5] In 2004, Mac was moved 2 kilometres (1.2 mi) by H.C.L Construction Ltd. using a flatbed truck and is now just off of the Trans-Canada highway next to the Moose Jaw visitors' center.
Although Mac has been vandalized many times (once being painted blue and other physical damage was done, including losing his jaw),[3] he still stands, although surrounded by a fence in 2009.
[8] In an interview with Global News on the subject, Moose Jaw's mayor Deb Higgins wasn't bothered, stating that "I think we’ve won the battle, first and foremost that Mac's reputation has spread to Norway and beyond."
[9] In October 2019, Mac regained the title of the world's tallest moose when a new set of antlers was installed, raising its height to 10.36 metres (34.0 ft),[2] making it taller than the Norwegian sculpture.
