Moose Habits and Characteristics
Moose are large hairy land mammals that inhabit many northern states in the United States, including Alaska. They thrive in cold areas and have a thick coat of fur that provides insulation and camouflage. Despite their size and strength, moose have predators in the wild, but they can protect themselves by running up to 35 miles per hour and swimming underwater. Female moose can be protective of their young, so it's important to stay away if you come across them while hiking.
