Question: I found a moose stuck in a snow drift. How can I help it?

 
Name: Terri-Lee Reid
Title:
Organization:
Website:
Biography:
Answer:

There is no doubt that moose are well adapted to Canadian winters. Hollow hairs in their dense coat trap air which acts as insulation, their long legs carry them through snow and their cloven hooves spread widely to provide support as they travel through snow. Despite these adaptations, when snow becomes too deep, moose can have a hard time moving around in it. To help conserve energy, moose will use packed trails or cleared areas such as roads to avoid deep snow.
