During the spring, summer, and fall the Moose feeds almost exclusively on aquatic vegetation, wading and browsing along the shorelines of lakes, streams, and marshes. Moose are acomplished, fast swimmers. The Moose spends the winter feeding on twigs, bark, and small tree saplings. The Moose is primarily nocturnal, although they can be seen at any time of day. They are solitary by nature except for a female and her calf.
Males shed their antlers at the beginning of winter after the mating season in the fall.
A Moose can live up to 20 years. Moose are agressive in defense. Mating takes place in the fall and the calves are born in May and June. The normal brood is a single calf, although 2 have been reported. The calfs are light brown with a dark stripe down the back.
