Moose can eat needles because they have a specialized digestive system that allows them to break down tough plant materials, including the fibrous and acidic needles of coniferous trees. Their large, multi-chambered stomachs contain microorganisms that aid in fermenting and digesting these challenging foods. Additionally, moose have adapted to extract nutrients from less palatable vegetation, making them well-suited for their forested habitats. This ability helps them thrive in environments where other herbivores may struggle to find adequate forage.
