My mission is to visit places where MOOSE don't normally live.
This may be an urban setting, or at a beach... or anywhere unexpected. Help me travel the world.
Wikipedia shares that the
moose (North America) or
Eurasian elk (Europe) (
Alces alces) is the largest
extant speciesin the
deer family. Moose are distinguished by the
palmate antlers of the males; other members of the family have antlers with a
dendritic ("twig-like") configuration. Moose typically inhabit
borealand
mixed deciduous forests of the
Northern Hemisphere in
temperate to
subarctic climates. Moose used to have a much wider range but hunting and other human activities greatly reduced it over the years. Moose have been re-introduced to some of their former habitats. Their diet consist of both terrestrial and aquatic vegetation. The most common moose predators are wolves, bears, and humans. Unlike most other deer species, moose are solitary animals and do not form herds. Although generally slow moving and sedentary, moose can become aggressive and move surprisingly fast if angered or startled. Their mating season in the autumn can lead to spectacular fights between males competing for the right to mate with a particular female.
You will obviously find this moose in locations where you wouldn't expect moose. Enjoy!
