what i eat                                                 what my scat looks like 

I need to eat 25-30 kg (55-66 lbs.) of food daily in the summer. I will eat leaves and twigs from shrubs. 
I will eat 15-20 kg (33-55lbs.) of food in the winter, while traveling less to use less energy. My scavenging is focused more on balsam fir, poplar, willow, birch and red osier dogwood in the winter.

The joke is my scat looks like chocolate easter eggs a bit larger than the elk which can be fooled for chocolate covered almonds. 
Scat changes depending on the food supply and water intake. 

Compare the scat you find with other moose scat for proper scat identification 
​

on your adventures, please share photos of the scat and plants you find!
