What are habits of a moose?

Answer 1

The 'moose' or 'elk' is a large species in the deer family. Moose have distinct antlers with palmation, with large, broad tines that are more noticeable in North American moose than Scandinavian elk.

Moose are diurnal. They are active during the day, living in their boreal or mixed deciduous forests where they typically make their homes. They are polygamous, with the males breeding with several females during mating season (September - October).

Male moose will fight over females, either retreating from a larger opponent, or fighting. Moose are often hunted and wolves, brown bears, and Siberian tigers are known to kill moose. They usually flee from wolves, but can fight back with their powerful hooves. Their nose is sensitive, and wolves will latch onto it to paralyze the moose with pain.

Moose typically eat plant material, like fresh leaves and twigs.

Some moose are domesticated and moose milk is even sold.

Answer 2

The eyesight of the moose is extremely poor, but its senses of smell and hearing compensate.

With their tremendous physical power and vitality, moose can travel over almost any terrain. Long legs carry them easily over deadfall trees or through snow that would stop a deer or wolf. Their cloven hooves and dewclaws spread widely to provide support when they wade through soft muskeg or snow. When frightened they may crash noisily through the underbrush, but in spite of their great size even full-grown, antlered bulls can move almost as silently as a cat through dense forest.

Before bedding down, a moose usually travels upwind for a time and then swings back in a partial circle. Thus predators following its track will have to approach from the windward direction. Skilled hunters know when to leave the track and work their way upwind to the hiding-place of their quarry.

Answer 3

Moose are herbivores and primarily feed on aquatic plants, woody shrubs, and young trees. They are typically solitary animals and tend to be most active during the early morning and late afternoon. Moose also have a keen sense of smell and hearing, helping them navigate their environment and detect threats.
