Moose Summer Behavior: Diet, Habitat & Cooling Strategies

In the summer, moose seek out areas with lush vegetation and water sources. They graze on a variety of plants, including aquatic plants, leaves, and twigs. They also spend time in water to stay cool and to avoid insects. Moose will often wallow in mud or water to cool off and protect themselves from biting insects. They are also known to take dust baths to help keep their fur clean and free of parasites.
