Moose have a long and bulbous snout. They use this snout which is adapted for foraging in deep snow during the winter. Their dark brown fur is insulating. This allows them to thrive in the harsh climates of Alaska!

Gangly Legs

With disproportionately long legs compared to their body size, moose are well-suited for wading through deep snow. Their legs, with hinged joints and elongated limbs, makes it possible for them to navigate rough landscapes and escape from predators.
