Are twins common in moose? and do they do any real damage to gardens ? In most of the images you see of moose they always look as though they are a marsh species and feed on pond weed or in birch woods
Moose often have twins. A significant number do not survive their first summer. In south-central Alaska, moose calves are a primary early summer food source for both Black and Brown Bears. Once the Salmon runs pick up the Moose are mostly safe. By fall the Bears are hitting the berries. Gardens in Anchorage are generally fenced to protect them from the moose. Shrubbery, small trees, and lush lawns are all attractants in neighborhoods. The moose in Anchorage are generally car savvy and tolerant of people and barking dogs provided each keep their distance. Our last couple winters have been mostly snow free and more moose have stayed outside the city.
All what I see from my kitchen window are tiny little hand bag animals, mostly in the arms of huge hairless primates, so these animals do have extremly low contact to the floor, but sometimes, they are considerd as a"Dog". But how can it be dog, if I could kill it by only one litte footstep ?
So I wish I could see more than these tiny litte Hand bag animals, pigeons and crows from my kitchen window, but thats the fate of everyone living in a big city...
