Maine state animal is the majestic mooseâ¦. by G L Buzzell. No animal is more symbolic of Maineâs northern forests than the moose, as officially attested by its adoption as Maineâs state animal and its appearance on the state seal. Current estimates place Maineâs moose population at about 25,000. 2  Moose breeding, the rut, is in late September and early October. 3  Bulls over the age of 4 are dominant breeders. 4  Cows may have their first offspring at 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 years of age.
