Physical Adaptations:
Large Size: The large body size of moose helps them conserve heat and stay warm in cold environments, increasing their chances of survival.
Thick Fur: Moose can withstand harsh winters and cold temperatures due to their thick fur, which insulates their body heat.
Antlers: Antlers provide a defense mechanism against predators and give the male moose an advantage during mating season, improving their chances of survival.
Wide, Flat Hooves: The wide and flat hooves of moose help them move easily through deep snow, allowing them to forage for food even in difficult conditions.
Behavioral Adaptations:
Nocturnal Feeding: Feeding at night reduces the chances of predation and allows the moose to find food without being seen by predators.
Swimming: The ability to swim well enables moose to cross water bodies, access new feeding areas and escape from predators, thus increasing their chances of survival.
