What do you do if you encounter baby moose?

Just hope that Momma ain't close by, particularly if you stumble across the calf hiding in the bushes or reeds somewhere! If you find a calf in such a position, get out of the area NOW, because momma is NOT going to be happy about you coming across her calf. She knows where she hid it, and she'll easily and very quickly come back if she senses her baby's in danger.

Of course it all depends on how you encounter the calf and where.

What is a horse mixed with a moose?

Yes, both bull and cow moose are capable of killing or seriously wounding a horse. There have been many stories by cowboys that raise cattle and ranch up in northern Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta and British Columbia that have had run-ins with moose when on horse-back. One would think that a horse can out-run a moose, but this is not true. A moose can easily keep in stride, and even gain on a galloping horse. When in reach, a moose will rip that horse apart with its hooves to the point where it (the horse) gets so wounded that the cowhand has to put it down.

The only way a cowboy can save both his horse and himself is if he is able to shoot-down the moose before they have a chance to attack him or his steed. Otherwise, moose will just keep attacking until there's nothing left to attack.

Why do female reindeer have antlers and female deer do not?

Male deer have antlers to fight other males for mates etc.. Female reindeer, (acturally caribou), also have antlers. Like other deer, antlers are shed in early winter, with the exception of pregnant caribou cows. Since caribou dig down in the snow (called cratering) to get at lichen, pregnant caribou cows can use their antlers to defend against other caribou who may try to kick them out of their crater, which ultimately helps pregnant cows conserve energy.

Do moose eat acorns?

Bears do indeed eat acorns. In fact the Florida Black Bear follows the oak tree line in establishing habitat, due to their reliance on acorns as a part of their diet. I have checked numerous websites about both bears and acorns, and all say that bears do indeed eat nuts, including acorns, and that acorns are "a major part of their black bear diet in the Fall." And finally, I have seen bears eating acorns. They prefer our trash with it's tasty human food, but since we make it impossible for them to get at that, which is no small feat, they eat acorns, and tomatoes and other produce from our garden, along with fruit, and small animals such as frogs and lizards. And bears are reputed to like Honey, but they actually love bee and other insect larvae, the honey is just 'icing on the cake'.

Our trash eating neighborhood bear adores ketchup. If someone newbie puts their trash outdoors, and it contains a ketchup bottle, Mr. Bear will chew through the plastic bottle to get at the sweet sticky stuff, and will not leave without finishing every last bit. Twice I have seen our neighborhood bear eating turkey. Once he was bloated from post Thanksgiving day trash scavenging so badly that he refused to be moved from the curb by even honking cars, where he sat with his belly distended while he finished cleaning a turkey carcass from the trash. And once he pushed in our patio screen enclosure to get at a turkey that was thawing in a bucket of water on the lanai. In that case, he sat on the pool steps and chewed on the partially thawed bird until being scared off by our dogs barking, at which point he left a very messy "calling card" in our pool. I have pictures of the scat, and from that the State wildlife agent who visited pointed out the partially digested acorns as well as bird seed he'd stolen from neighborhood bird feeders.

How many species of moose are there?

It is impossible to tell how many species of dinosaurs there were; new species are found each year. Approximately 700 species have been named as of 2007, and these species are placed in about 300 valid dinosaur genera, although about 550 have been named. Most dinosaur genera presently contain only one species (for example, Deinonychus) but some have more (for example, Iguanodon). Even if all of the roughly 700 published species are valid, their number is still less than one-tenth the number of currently known living bird species, less than one-fifth the number of currently known mammal species, and less than one-third the number of currently known spider species, which shows how much more there is to discover in the realm of paleontology.

There is an estimated 800+ species of dinosaurs.
Approximately 700 species have been named. However, a recent scientific review suggests that only about half of these are based on fairly complete specimens that can be shown to be unique and separate species. These species are placed in about 300 valid dinosaur genera (Stegosaurus, Diplodocus, etc.), although about 540 have been named. Recent estimates suggest that about 700 to 900 more dinosaur genera may remain to be discovered.
dinosaurs got to be around 4 in. or 400 ft long !!!!!!!!!!!!!111

What would win a moose or a wolf?

They are both very powerful animals, first, bison have shorter horns, moose for at least have bigger but wider antlers. Even though the bison have horns, the horns are going to be smaller.They are both very interesting animals and both have quite the predatory animals. The bison is taller, stronger and bull bison fight with other bulls to win over a cow ( female bison). The moose can fight too but normally stands its ground ( meaning territory). A bull moose can weigh over one thousand two hundred pounds and the bull bison can be one thousand six hundred pounds and sometimes one ton meaning two thousand pounds. The bison can run speeds up to thirty five miles per hour and the moose can also run speeds of thirty miles per hour. The bison has a better advantage of winning because it is not just bigger, it is stronger. The moose can really fight too and can leave marks on the bison. I am an expert I have been studying these animals ever since i was 7 years old. But the real answer to this question is the bison.
