The Moose By: Ali Ali **  Introduction   ** I’m glad I picked the moose. I learned that moose can weigh over a thousand pounds. Another thing I learned is that moose is six feet tall at the shoulder. The last thing I learned is that moose eat willows. I think moose are very good. ** Appearance  ** Here are three facts about what the moose look like. Moose have very long legs. So they can wade into a lake and they can eat plants from the bottom. A moose is six feet tall at the shoulder. Moose weigh over a thousand pounds. Antlers of bulls in their prime may weigh over fifty pounds. Antlers are flattened like a hand. I like the fact that moose can weigh over a thousand pounds. **  Habitat    ** Forested areas lakes and marshes are where moose live. The forest is nine thousand to eleven thousand feet. Most of them are Engelmann trees spruce and fir. Engelmann trees grow to a height of eighty to 100 feet. I think that Engelmann trees are pretty good when they get taller. **  Food Chain   ** Moose eat willows underwater vegetation and bushes. They also graze on coniferous needles and deciduous leaves in the summer. Here are two facts in moose COLORODO FOOD CHAIN.
