No, as an herbivore, the moose is a heterotroph. An autotroph is: "Any living organism that synthesizes organic substances from inorganic molecules by using light or chemical energy. Autotrophs are the primary producers in all food chains since the materials they synthesize and store are the energy sources of all other organisms. All green plants and many planktonic organisms are autotrophs, using sunlight to convert carbon dioxide and water into sugars by photsynthesis." A heterotroph is: "Any living organism that obtains its energy from organic substances produced by other organisms. All animals and fungi are heterotrophs, and they include herbivores, carnivores, and saprotrophs (those that feed on dead animal and plant material)."

How big does a catahoula leopard bearded collie mix get?
Well a Catahoula is generally a big dog, so if the collie was smaller, then the size of the puppies would be smaller.
I have two Catahoula Leopards/Spaniels. They are: male;75lbs female;50lbs.
They are smaller than the average catahoula, because of the spaniel they were bred with.
I would say a collie/catahoula mix would be the same, maybe a little lighter. (male;70lbs, female;45lbs.)

Where does the African leopard shelter?
The African leopard is adapted to many habitats and so the shelters of the leopard is quite a huge range. Leopards like to drape over trees and catch prey while doing so, living in rocky surroundings and grassy shelters. When a leopard has cubs, it is very protective of them, as hunters like: * hyenas and * lions may hunt them while they are small and "bite-sized". So it is very important within the first few days of the cubs being born, that the group of leopards find a safe and shady place to stay while the cubs are growing and getting big enough for self defense. ----
