How tall is a moose?
Adult moose are commonly listed at about 4 ft 7 in to 6 ft 10.5 in (140–210 cm) at the shoulder; there is no single height for every moose.

What the source actually establishes
Shoulder height ends at the top of the shoulder, not the head or antler tips. Antlers, head posture and body size make a photograph unsuitable for treating every moose as one fixed-height figure.
The published range describes adult animals. Age, sex and the population being described matter, so the midpoint is not a measured individual or a universal species average.
For a comparison drawing, enter a value from the published shoulder-height range and label it as an example. Keep shoulder height distinct from a person’s full standing height.
