Moose (Alces alces) are mammals, ungulates (mammals with hooves), and members of the deer family, which also includes deer, caribou, and elk in Alaska. Moose have many adaptations that help them survive life in a cold climate, which include the characteristics of their fur.. A minor tick infestation might not affect a moose much at all, but a severe case will drive it to groom aggressively (licking and biting itself, and rubbing against trees), which causes excessive hair loss. Usually this is concentrated at the head and shoulders, but the moose can lose fur from anywhere that it rubs.

Range Moose are found in the northern regions of the United States, from Maine to Washington, throughout Canada, and into Alaska. Due to their large size and insulating fur, moose are limited to cold climates. Forested areas with streams and ponds are ideal moose habitat. Adult moose use their antlers or hooves to defend themselves from predators like bears and wolves. The much smaller calves.. Moose are well-adapted to living in cold climates thanks to their thick skin and double-layered fur, which consists of a soft woolly undercoat plus a top layer of long guard hairs. These guard hairs are hollow and trap air inside, thus providing extra insulation. The large size of moose also means they have a low surface area to volume ratio, which is another adaptation to reduce heat loss.
