Eastern moose : ウィキペディア英語版 | Eastern moose
The eastern moose (''Alces alces americana'') is a subspecies of moose. that ranges throughout most of Eastern Canada and most of the New England states and northern New York. Eastern moose inhabit boreal forests and mixed deciduous forests, which provide camouflage from predators such as wolves and humans. The eastern moose is the third largest subspecies of moose, behind the western moose and the Alaska moose. Male eastern moose along with all the other moose species are extremely aggressive during mating season and will attack or kill anything that provokes it. ==Habitat, range, and distribution== The eastern moose ranges from Eastern Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick, Newfoundland (not Labrador) and Nova Scotia. In the United States, it inhabits Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and northern New York State. The population of the eastern moose is rapidly increasing due to the fact that its habitat is vastly undeveloped. Many observations have reported the average direction of the moose population expansion is heading south. As of the present day the moose population expands to as far south as Upstate New York and throughout northern Connecticut, though Pennsylvania and New Jersey have yet to report sightings of moose. However, many believe the ever-expanding population will reach those two states in around ten years but maybe more depending on the speed of how frequent they reproduce and how abundant food and water will continue to be as they would likely expand their territory further south. There are about 350,000 eastern moose, with about of them mating every autumn and winter. The only eastern moose that do not mate are bull moose that lose to another bull moose for breeding rights.
