Moose are vegetarians (or herbivores as they are called in the animal kingdom) and your average moose will consume about 70.5 pounds or 32 kg of food each day.
These woodland creatures have extremely poor eyesight which is rather an interesting fact. They are also excellent swimmers.

Swamp grass must be mighty yummy to encourage anyone to put in that much effort to grab a little bite to eat. Nothing like a little swamp grass to start the day off right. The Woods Can be a Dangerous Place for a Baby Moose
Momma moose give birth to twin babies about thirty percent of the time. Yet in lean years when food is scarce the incidence of twin births drops to virtually zero. When the mama moose has just one calf (as they are called) it will weigh more than it would if she were giving birth to twin babies.
A single birth newborn baby moose calf will generally weigh between 24 and 28 pounds (11 and 16 kg) at birth. While a twin moose calf will usually weigh in at quite a bit less. Twin moose calves usually weigh about 13 pounds or 6 kg at birth. Moose calves are very vulnerable so the mother will generally hide her newborn babies away for a few days after they are born or until they are a little stronger and more able to face the trials of a wilderness community. Once mama moose is taking her baby out foraging for food she can be very protective of her little one so be sure to give her plenty of space. She really loves her babies.The baby moose will stay with their mother until she has new calves in the following spring. The young moose don't always think that they are ready to leave home yet but the momma will chase them off and make sure that they start out on their own.
