Do moose eat acorns

Answer 1

Bears do indeed eat acorns. In fact the Florida Black Bear follows the oak tree line in establishing habitat, due to their reliance on acorns as a part of their diet. I have checked numerous websites about both bears and acorns, and all say that bears do indeed eat nuts, including acorns, and that acorns are "a major part of their black bear diet in the Fall." And finally, I have seen bears eating acorns. They prefer our trash with it's tasty human food, but since we make it impossible for them to get at that, which is no small feat, they eat acorns, and tomatoes and other produce from our garden, along with fruit, and small animals such as frogs and lizards. And bears are reputed to like Honey, but they actually love bee and other insect larvae, the honey is just 'icing on the cake'.

Our trash eating neighborhood bear adores ketchup. If someone newbie puts their trash outdoors, and it contains a ketchup bottle, Mr. Bear will chew through the plastic bottle to get at the sweet sticky stuff, and will not leave without finishing every last bit. Twice I have seen our neighborhood bear eating turkey. Once he was bloated from post Thanksgiving day trash scavenging so badly that he refused to be moved from the curb by even honking cars, where he sat with his belly distended while he finished cleaning a turkey carcass from the trash. And once he pushed in our patio screen enclosure to get at a turkey that was thawing in a bucket of water on the lanai. In that case, he sat on the pool steps and chewed on the partially thawed bird until being scared off by our dogs barking, at which point he left a very messy "calling card" in our pool. I have pictures of the scat, and from that the State wildlife agent who visited pointed out the partially digested acorns as well as bird seed he'd stolen from neighborhood bird feeders.
