Moose\n\nThe MOOSE is the world's largest member of the deer family. Moose are generally associated with northern forests in North America, Europe, and Russia. In Europe they are called "elk". Moose are long-legged and heavy bodied with a drooping nose, a "bell" or dewlap under the chin, and a small tail. Their colour ranges from golden brown to almost black, depending on the season and the age of the animal. The hair of newborn calves is generally red-brown and they usually weigh around 28 to 35 pounds. Within five months the calves grow to over 300 pounds. Males in prime condition weigh from 1,200 to 1,600 pounds and adult female can weigh from 800 to 1,300 pounds. Only the bulls have antlers.  The largest moose antlers in North America come from Alaska, the Yukon Territory, and the Northwest Territories of Canada. In the wild, moose rarely live more than 16 years.    \n\n   Cow moose generally breed at 28 months and the calves are born any time from May to early June after a gestation period of about 230 days. Cows give birth to twins 15 to 75 percent of the time, and triplets may occur once in every 1,000 births.  The calves are weaned in the fall time when the mother is breeding again. The maternal bond is generally maintained until calves are 12 months old at which time the mother aggressively chases her offspring from the immediate area just before she gives birth.  Moose breed in the fall with the peak of the "rut' activities coming in late September and early October. Adult males joust during the rut by bringing their antlers together and pushing. Serious battles are rare although a few occasionally die from their wounds. The winner usually mates with the female.\n\n    During the fall and winter, moose consume large quantities of willow, birch, and aspen twigs. Spring is the time of grazing as well as browsing. Moose eat a variety of foods, particularly sedges, horsetail, pond weeds, and grasses. During the summer, moose feed on vegetation in shallow ponds, forbs, and the leaves of birch, willow, and aspen.\n\n   Moose are killed by wolves and black and brown bears. Black bears take moose calves in May and June and brown bears kill calves and adults the entire time the bears are out of their winter dens. Wolves kill moose throughout the entire year. Moose are also a very popular animal for people to hunt, which is another way that limits the growth of the moose population.\n\nMan's removal of mature timber through logging and careless use of fire has, in general, benefited moose as new stands of young timber have created vast areas of high-quality moose food. The future for moose is reasonably bright because man is learning how to manipulate habitat with wildfire and is becoming more skilled at managing factors that limit moose populations, such as predation and hunting. \n\nCaribou\n\nThe CARIBOU live in the artic tundra, mountain tundra, and northern forests of North America, Russia, and Scandinavia. The world population is only about 5 million. In Europe caribou are called reindeer, but in Alaska and Canada only the domestic forms are called reindeer. All caribou and reindeer throughout the world are considered to be the same species, but there are 7 subspecies: Barrenground, Svalbard, European, Finnish forest reindeer, Greenland, Woodland, and Peary. Alaska has only the barren-ground subspecies, but in Canada the barren-ground, Woodland, and Peary subspecies are found. The caribou found on the Slate Islands in Terrace Bay, are Woodland caribou.\n\n    Caribou have large, concave hoofs that spread widely to support the animal in snow and soft tundra. The feet also function as paddles when caribou swim. Caribou are the only member of the deer family in which both sexes grow antlers. Antlers of adult bulls are large and massive; those of adult cows are much shorter and are usually more slender and irregular. In late fall , caribou are clove-brown with a white neck, rump, and feet

Yes, they do.  It's called "estrus, but is often referred to as being "in heat", especially when referring to a household pet.

Different people have different preferences.  Some people even prefer deer meat from deer that eat different foods, kind of like honey, apple blossom, alfalfa, etc.  I myself will say it's all in the way the deer is cleaned and cooked.

Muntjacs (genus Muntiacus) are small deer. As with all deers, their antlers look velvety while they're growing (which occurs yearly), because they're covered with short-haired skin. When the antlers have fully grown, the velvet falls away and they are naked, with the bone exposed.

Do you mean "Artemis"? She is the ancient Greek goddess of the moon, hunting, wild animals, women and children, childbirth, chastity and youth. When the Romans adopted her as their own goddess, they renamed her "Dian" or "Diana". Is that what you mean by a "synonym"? She is also sometimes known as "Phoebe".\n\nCheck out the link below...

Well all animals attract the opposite sex by the female of the species coming on heat.This function allows the female to attract the male over a wide area.Usually a dominant male breeds most of the females,this ensures that the resulting offspring are strong and healthy

Deer mainly forage after crops have been removed from the fields.  They will look for crops left behind, acorns, grasses, barks.  Anything they can.  We plant turnips for them in the summer and they come there all winter and they dig them up and eat them.

They sure do! Here in NE Ohio we see a lot of Amish during gun week for deer. Where we're at a lot of them will ride in the bed of a pickup truck, get dropped off along the road, and then drive the deer towards more hunters at the next road over.

Predators that eat deer include the coyote, bobcat, cougar, wild dogs and humans.

There might be more than one answer to this (see link) because the term "deer candy" is used for anything favored by deer as food. Most are not vines but Ivy is and fits your description. One site (see second link) mentions Persimmon fruits -- Persimmons are not vines but at least the fruit might be something closer to what we call candy!\nBoth sites give lots of information about what deer eat.

Yes.  The males use them during mating season to get a grip on the much larger females while mating. The evidence is in the scars on the female's back.
