In a true one on one fight the cougar would always beat the wolverine, the size difference is just too great for skill and tenacity to make any difference. I know that wolverines have chased bears from their kills, but this is only when the bear has eaten all that it wants and now only wants to go lie down and sleep. Most of the wolverines reputation is myth.

What do you call A bunch of moose?
Moose are the least social species among cervids, remaining fairly solitary except during the mating season. They are not territorial. Outside of the rutting period, males and females are sexually segregated: males and females are separated spatially, temporally, and/or by habitat. In the tundra moose in Alaska form harems and taiga moose form transient pair bonds. In the harem mating system, the largest, most dominant male attempts to herd a group of females together, which he defends from all other males.
Yes they are! Animals that only eat plants (and some berries) are called herbivores. So, yes, a moose is a "vegetarian."
Is a moose a herbivore or a carnivore or an omnivore or insectivore?
Totally an herbivore- they eat willows and aspen trees.
herbivore they eat only grass
They live in a Taiga all year............During the summer they waddle through thawed lakes and rivers.
A stand of cedar trees will offer plenty of shelter from rain and wind and some flies. When the bugs become too bothersome they will enter the water for relief.
Can a moose defend itself against a bear?
It is possible, but of course this depends on the size, age and sex of the moose and the bear, and the species of the bear. A bull moose has strong, large antlers and long sharp hooves (cows only have their hooves to defend themselves with) that could do serious damage to the bear. Most bears, no matter the species, won't mess with an animal that can fight back, especially a moose. However, a bear like a large grizzly or Alaskan brown bear might be able to injure a moose if it was really angry, or large and fearless enough to put up a good fight against such a raging herbivore. A bear would have to claw and bite it's way out of a fight with a moose, but Lord help them if that moose is an angry bull on the rut with those powerful antlers. But as far as a moose being able to kill a bear, such cases may be rare because often either party would wish to run away to save themselves rather than getting killed.

Moose are herbivores. I'd know because I'm doing a report on them. they eat plants, twigs, willow and stuff like that. they are vegetarians go to (when do mooses eat) on ask 2 find out more and i no moose's rnt a word, sry! have a good day :)
I heard on the local news that moose cannot digest the rich alfalfa we may be tempted to leave out for them. The chemical contents of their digestive juices changes during the winter, to be able to digest twigs, stems and heavier stuff. When you feed them alfalfa it may fill their stomachs, but cannot be properly digested, and so the animal may die of starvation even with a full stomach. I don't know if this is true for grass hay as well.
