The moose is a huge and beautiful animal. They like cold climates, so countries that have moose include Russia, the United States and Canada. In terms of food, they don't eat meat, and prefer to chew on plants and vegetables. Male moose usually have two large antlers on their heads (which they lose before the winter).They are excellent swimmers, and are often found in pools, keeping cool. The main natural threats to moose are wolves and bears. The newest threat is humans whose cars collide with moose, often leaving them seriously wounded.
