The Magnificent Moose
Moose are found throughout northern North America and Eurasia. Their range coincides with that of circumpolar boreal forests. In North America they occur throughout Alaska, Canada, the northeastern United States and as far south as the Rocky Mountains in Colorado. In Eurasia they are found throughout northern Europe and eastwards through Siberia and Mongolia. They are generally found near streams or ponds where there are willows.
Moose eat twigs, bark, roots and the shoots of woody plants, especially willows and aspens. In the warm months, moose feed on water plants, water lilies, pondweed, horsetails, bladderworts, and bur-reed. In winter, they browse on conifers, such as balsam fir, and eat their needle-like leaves. They require 20kg of food per day but their stomachs, when full, can weigh up to 65 kg. Most of a moose's time is spent eating. Their distinctive snout has nostrils that close automatically as they dip their heads underwater for food.
Moose can grow up to seven feet tall at the shoulder and exceed sixteen hundred pounds

- Nice lens. The moose is my favorite mammal. It's said the moose was designed by a committee because it's various body parts seem so incongruous with one another but when you look at the overall animal it's a very beautiful and graceful creature.
