Best Answer

Moose are animals of wetlands, bogs, sloughs, lakes, etc. They have long, tall legs because they tend to be the type of deer that love to wade in deep ponds, sloughs or lakes to eat the plants that grow at the bottom. They'll even swim if the lake's too deep for it to plant all four feet on the sediment below.

When they're not in the deep lakes, they're also having to travel across peat-moss bogs that literally have no bottom that are found in the boreal forests. Their long legs allow them to spend much less time and a less chance of getting stuck in these dangerous bogs than with other animals that are shorter with shorter legs.
