Woodland Moose Potholder

Here are a few fun facts about the moose: 1. The bull moose looses its huge antlers every winter and they grow back bigger each spring. 2. Even at 1500 pounds, the moose is very graceful in the water as it is a natural swimmer. 3. Moose can hear and smell really well, but they can’t see very well because of the positioning of their eyes on the sides of their heads. 4. The word “moose” actually means “twig eater” in the Algonquin language! 5. Moose only live in climates that have snow cover in winter.
