Life Cycle

Adaptations

Can live 20years but, typical life span is 10-12years

Moose's hair is thicker at it's tip, insulating warmth.

Moose have two toes that are spread apart, distributing their weight, making it easier to run in the snow.

Mate in early fall and fight (above) with antlers over a mate.

Calf are born in spring, females normally only have one a year and Calf can walk within one day.

When moose run they tilt their heads back so their antlers don't get caught in bushes and trees.

Moose live across Russia, Canada, the United States, and Northern Europe.
