Moose
(Alces alces)
are the largest members
of the deer family (Cervidae). Few predators can challenge a
healthy adult. A large moose can weigh up to 1750 pounds.
Moose are usually shy and generally stay
close to ponds or lakes where they enjoy browsing for aquatic
plants. They also eat a variety of grasses, herbs and bark.They
can outswim wolves and will run to water to escape being harassed.
The wolf is their chief predator.
Many hunters and naturalists consider the
bull moose during the fall rut one of the most dangerous animals.
They can be unpredictable and belligerent.A rutting moose has
been known to attack humans and even automobiles.
Moose live in the northern parts of North
America and Eurasia. They inhabit coniferous forests northward
to the tundra and southward to the limits of larch and birch
forests.
Moose breed in autumn. Calves are born
in the spring after a gestation of 240-250 days. The mother cares
for the calf until the next calf is born.
