A winter storm like this one would send most of us inside rather quickly. That isn’t an option for the moose of course, but they are much better equipped for it than we are. Long legs enable them to pass through deep snow. A thick hide and highly insulative fur help the moose to retain heat. Still, it isn’t easy as they must not only endure snow and cold, but diminished food availability and the constant threat of predators—which in this area during winter would primarily be wolves.
