Moose
Common Name: Moose
Scientific Name: Alces alces
Pylum: Mammalia
Order: Artiodactyla
Family: Cirvidae
Genus: Alces
The moose is the largest member of the deer family and the tallest mammal in North America. It stands six feet tall from shoulders to feet. Females weigh between 800 to 1,300 pounds and males weigh 1,200 to 1,600 pounds. The moose has long, thick, light brown to dark brown fur. Moose hair is hollow, which helps keep the moose warm. Its front legs are longer than its rear legs, this helps it jump over fallen trees and other objecst. It has a long head with a large nose and upper lip with a dewlap hanging on its throat. has small ears, large nostrils on its muzzle and a small tail. It has powerful shoulder muscles giving it a humpbacked appearance. The male has huge broad and flat antlers that can stretch four to five feet across. Antlers start to grow in the early summer. When antlers first start to grow, they are covered with a soft fuzzy skin called velvet.
Moose mate in early fall. During mating season, females attract males with the
ir deep calls and strong scent. Bull moose use their antlers in threat displays when they are fighting over females. When mating season is over, the moose's antlers will fall off. Mice and other rodents will gnaw on the antlers because they are a good source of calcium. The female gives birth during the spring or summer. She usually has one baby. Moose calves can stand up within a day and they can swim within a couple of weeks. Calves are weaned after about six months and will stay with their mother until the next young are born. Mothers are very protective of their calves and will charge people if they get too close. Bull moose may also charge people and even cars during mating season. Moose can run as fast as 35 mph, so it's a good idea to stay out of their way!
The moose lives in forested areas where there is snow cover in the winter and nearby lakes, bogs, swamps, streams and ponds. The moose's large size makes survival in warm climates difficult and they have difficulty when temperatures rise above 80 degrees Fahrenheit. In the summer they cool off in the water
The moose is active in the day, especially at dawn and dusk. It has very poor eyesight but good hearing and an excellent sense of smell. It is a very good swimmer and can swim as fast as six miles an hour in the water. The moose is usually a peaceful animal but can become aggressive when it is threatened.

Observation 3
Location: Cache Creek Forest
Date: 5.14.08
Time: 5pm
temp: 69 Degrees
Weather: Sunny with a slight cloud cover
Wind Conditions: There is a strong breeze
Soil conditions: The soil is really dry and dusty but in some parts there are still mosit because of all the snow that is still there.
Hypothesis: The weather is going to most likely become even warmer and supposedly get up to 80 degrees. It has become a lot warmer from my last observation, alot more sun and not much rain or snow and is continuing to get warmer. This sun will help vegitation even more, expecially from the rain the last couple of days. I looked closely at the aspen trees, and it looks like it is starting to grow buds that will most likely bud in the next week or two. Most of the grass is now covered in dandalions stems . There are more and more weeds coming up also, and they usually get really bad in the summer alsot the river has gone a little bit more up and on the river bank there are more weeds and plantation also the trees that live near the river seem to be start to bud faster and start to grow leafs.

Observation 2
Location: Cache Creek Forest
Time: 5.10.08
Time: 7:25pm
temp: 52 Degrees
Weather: Cloud cover with a little bit of sun
Wind Conditions: There is a cold breeze
Soil conditions: The soil is a little damp from the snow melting but is mostly dry in other areas
Hypothesis: This little bit of rain that we have had is going to help vegetation even more and its going to make alot of the plants and vegitaion to start to grow . The grass is almost all green but some of the aspen trees are still bare. There has been a lot of rain lately though so these trees will probably start to bud. Now all of the birds are back, and there was a moose this morning with its baby when i drove by there to check it all out also the river seems to have more water in it and its not as low as it was and there are not alot of little creatures out yet like SPIDERS, ants, and bugs.
