Moose Jigsaw Puzzles

Moose are the largest of all the deer species. Males are immediately recognizable by their huge antlers, which can spread 6 feet from end to end. Moose have long faces that dangle over their chins. A flap of skin known as a bell sways beneath each moose's throat as seen in this moose puzzle.
Moose are so tall they prefer to graze on higher grasses and shrubs because it is difficult lowering their heads to the ground. In the winter they eat shrubs and pine cones, but they also scrape the snow with their large hooves to clear areas for eating mosses and lichens. These hooves also act as snowshoes to support these heavy animals in soft snow and in muddy or marshy ground.
In the summer, food is far more plentiful in the northern regions of North America, Europe, and Asia. Moose are often seen in lakes, rivers, or wetlands, feeding on aquatic plants both at and below the surface. Moose are actually at home in the water and, despite their staggering size, they are good swimmers. They have been seen paddling several miles at a time, and will even submerge completely, staying under for 30 seconds or more. They can run up to 35 miles an hour over short distances, and trot steadily at 20 miles an hour.
Males, called bulls, bellow loudly to attract mates each September and October as seen in the beautiful courtship of this colorful moose jigsaw puzzle. The usually solitary bulls may come together at this time to battle with their antlers for mating supremacy. After mating, the two sexes go their separate ways until the following year. Though they may occasionally feed in the same grounds, they tend to ignore each other. Females give birth to one or two calves in the spring—each weighing some 30 pounds. These calves grow quickly and can outrun a person by the time they are just five days old. Young moose stay with their mothers until the following mating season and then are on their own.
