The moose is the world’s tallest, largest and heaviest species of deer. Moose inhabit the circumpolar boreal forests or temperate boradleaf and mixed forests of the Northern Hemisphere, thriving in cooler, temperate areas as well as subarctic climate. Their diet consists of both terrestrial and aquatic vegetation, depending on the season, with branches, twigs and dead wood making up a large portion of their winter diet. Unless other deer species moose are mainly solitary except for moose cows and their offspring during the first 2 years. Found this this moose bull while visiting Rocky Mountain NP in Colorado this fall. Click here for more Colorado wildlife.
