What does a moose eat?

The moose is the largest member of the deer family. It is such a large herbivore, or plant-eating animal, that it only has two predators or natural enemies.

Wolves often attack, kill and eat moose. But usually it takes many wolves to kill a moose.

Grizzly bears also eat moose. Grizzlies prefer to eat young, or baby moose, because they are easier to catch and kill. But these bears are powerful enough to kill a full-grown moose when they need to.

And, what does a moose eat? Moose are browsers, which means they eat a variety of leaves, twigs and other plant material.
