What is the singular form of the word stifling?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Stifling is a verb. It is the -ing form of the verb stifle. Verbs don't really have a singular form like nouns but if you used stifle with a singular noun subject the verb form would be stifles.

She stifles her younger sister.

Stifle as a noun means the joint of a hind leg of certain four legged animals eg horse. But it is not used as a noun very often. If this is the meaning you are thinking of then the plural is stifles

The words "goose" and "geese" come from Old English. "Moose" is derived from an Algonquian language, which does not follow the same pattern of pluralization as English. This is why we say "moose" for both singular and plural.

Do moose eat peanuts?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

We feed birds sunflower seeds and peanuts. Every 5-8 years, when the snow gets to deep, the moose tip the bird feeders on top of themselves and eat as much as they can. So, yes they eat peanuts (and sunflower seeds), if they get a hold of food they can't eat, (one tried to eat suit), they lie down with a tummy ache for a while but move on and survive.

Do moose eat algae?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

In my exploration of moose dietary habits, I've found that while moose are primarily herbivores and graze on various plants like shrubs, grasses, and aquatic vegetation, they are not typically known to consume algae as a significant part of their diet. Moose tend to feed on terrestrial vegetation, especially in forested environments. However, in certain circumstances, moose might inadvertently ingest small amounts of algae if it's present on the plants or aquatic vegetation they consume. Most of their diet consists of woody plants, buds, and aquatic vegetation rather than algae. It's fascinating how the dietary preferences of these majestic creatures contribute to their survival in diverse ecosystems. #MooseDiet #Herbivores #WildlifeFeedingHabits

How does human activity affect a moose?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Human activity can have several negative effects on moose populations. Deforestation and habitat loss reduce their available habitat, making it harder for them to find food and shelter. Human disturbance, such as noise from recreational activities or collisions with vehicles, can stress or injure moose. Additionally, pollution and climate change can disrupt ecosystems and affect the availability of food and water sources for moose.

Does a tiger eats a moose?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes, most definitely if the opportunity is presented.

Elk, (Cervus canadiensis) also known as wapiti, are native to North America and possibly parts of Siberia. In Asia, the tiger's current range does not overlap so they would not be a natural predator.

The Moose (Alces alces) is called 'Elk' in Europe. There is some overlap in its range with the current range of the tiger. It would not be inconceivable that properly motivated tiger would attack an adult moose but it would seem unlikely that a tiger would give up its advantage since their defense strategy is to retreat to water and they are very capable of defending themselves. A tiger would almost certainly attack a moose calf if the opportunity was presented.

The Red Deer (Cervus elaphus), also known by a host of names including 'Wapiti' and the 'Bactrian Red Deer'. has a range that extends through central Asia and overlaps some of the tiger's range. Recently, it was determined that it and the North American Wapiti, once thought to be members of the same species, are in reality separate species.

Geist (1998) recommended that C. elaphus and C. canadensis be regarded as distinct species. This is supported by patterns of mtDNA variation as reported by Randi et al.

You may still find people (including myself, prior to researching this) who call this animal the 'Red Elk'.
