Though many consider the moose to be a lumbering, slow animal, in fact, it can run up to 35 miles-an-hour, swim effortlessly for long periods of time, dive as deep as 18 feet and stay submerged for as long as a minute. Its considerable weight and awesome antlers make it a foe to be avoided. With its legendary fearlessness, it can repel a pack of wolves with only its hooves and has been known to charge departing airplanes on runways.
This beautifully illustrated book celebrates the magnificent and elusive moose and its place in the ecosystem of the northern forest.
