Moose can dive?!?

Moose can dive almost 20 feet (6 m) underwater and can hold their breath for a full minute!

Moose need to eat a huge amount of plants each day and sometimes during colder weather, there isn't enough food around to satisfy them. They are natural-born swimmers and diving down to the bottom of a pond lets them access a ton of plant material that few other animals can get to! #funfactfriday

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT >

We respectfully acknowledge that our stewardship work takes place on the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territory of the Syilx (Okanagan) People. For countless generations, the Syilx People have cared for these lands, waters, plants, and wildlife through their knowledge, laws, and responsibilities to the natural world.

As an organization dedicated to conservation and stewardship, we recognize that caring for ecosystems is not a new practice but one that has been guided by Indigenous Peoples since time immemorial. We honour the Syilx Nation's enduring stewardship and commit to fostering respectful relationships with the land and with the people who have always called it home.
