The Moose: Master of Arctic Nutrition
Native to the Northern Hemisphere, the moose survives in the cold Arctic regions without hibernating and uses its impressive size of 400 to 600 kg to thrive. These majestic animals feed on energy- and mineral-rich wild plants that are specially adapted to the harsh conditions of the Arctic nature. The plants provide easily digestible nutrients like sugars, starches, and proteins, contributing to the moose's vitality and health. Instinctively, the moose knows how to stay healthy and strong – a lesson in natural nutrition that can also be relevant for us.
