Baseline body temperatures (BT), heart rates (HR) and respiratory rates (RR) were obtained from Alaskan moose (Alces alces gigas Miller) at the Moose Research Center (MRC), Alaska. Excitability, seasons and drugs influenced the values to varying degrees. Excitability was the most influential factor. Safe expected ranges were: BT 38.4 to 38.9 C, HR 70 to 91 beats/min (b/min), and RR 13 to 40 respirations/min (r/min). These ranges incorporated all seasons, a central nervous system depressant drug and a paralyzing drug. Values which may be considered critical and an indication that corrective action should be taken include: BT 40.2 C, HR 102 b/min, and RR 40 r/min. It is recommended that persons trained in monitoring vital signs be on hand during moose capture and immobilization procedures.
在阿拉斯加的驼鹿研究中心（MRC），从阿拉斯加驼鹿（Alces alces gigas Miller）身上获取了基础体温（BT）、心率（HR）和呼吸频率（RR）。兴奋性、季节和药物对这些数值有不同程度的影响。兴奋性是最具影响力的因素。安全预期范围为：体温38.4至38.9摄氏度，心率70至91次/分钟（b/min），呼吸频率13至40次/分钟（r/min）。这些范围涵盖了所有季节、一种中枢神经系统抑制药物和一种麻痹药物。可能被视为危急情况并表明应采取纠正措施的数值包括：体温40.2摄氏度，心率102次/分钟，呼吸频率40次/分钟。建议在捕获和固定驼鹿的过程中，要有经过生命体征监测培训的人员在场。
