Autumn moose droppings. You know it’s out there, you just don’t know where. Careful with that pile of leaves. What a moose, err, mess. Did you know moose are pretty active in the fall because it’s their mating season, known as the rut? During this time, bull moose may be more aggressive and prone to roaming openly to find mates. Step lightly and keep a distance. Do moose hibernate in the winter? Nope. Moose possess several adaptations for winter, including a thick insulating coat and large hooves for navigating snow, allowing them to stay warm and mobile year-round. So, watch out for that pile of snow too.
