It’s not easy to survive through the winter at Kenai National Wildlife Refuge in Alaska. Luckily, moose have large cloven hooves that prevent them from sinking into snow and can also be used to clear snow to reveal food underneath. Although they don’t have great eyesight, they can detect predators approaching with excellent senses of smell and hearing. Also, moose generally travel in the same direction as the wind so that the scent of a predator tracking it will be carried to the moose by the wind, alerting it of danger. Pretty clever.
