Did you know that moose have antlers the of a dining room table? Isn’t it amazing! Moose are the largest members of the deer family! If I were to touch a moose it would feel coarse or maybe even soft! Moose eat horsetail and other things that grow. Are moose insane? Of course not, they’re one of the most intelligent creatures in the wild. Do you know how a boy moose gets a girl moose? It fights another boy moose! I think it’s crazy don’t you? Did you know that moose have tails? I didn’t, because they are way too small to notice. Moose live near rivers. I hope they don’t fall in! But, if they do it’s OK because they are good swimmers. Moose live in wet lands and sometimes they live in icy areas. Their antlers fall off in the winter and grow back in the spring. Isn’t that fascinating? But only the male moose has antlers. Do you know what kind of feet moose have? They have hoofed feet! I wish I could see a moose one day, don’t you?
