What I already know about my topic

I know a little bit about Moose, because many years ago in elementery school I wrote a short paper on them, but I dont't remember much! When Moose are just born they have fuzzy velvety antlers. The reason for this "Velvet" on the antlers is because there is blood vessels inside of it that feeds nutrients into the antlers to help them continue to grow. When the antlers are about finished growing the "Velvet" begins to fall off.
Moose are mostly found in cold climates. A Moose habitat consists of mountainous regions, snow, cold climates, water, and a little warm in the summer time. This is why Alaska is a well known Moose habitiat, it has all the characteristics to support these giants.
I also know that Moose are extremely active animals. They enjoy activities such as swimming the most. They swim pretty fast too!! Moose have very poor eyesight which is really sad for them at times especially when people hunt for them and they can't see that good to escape from it. These are some things I previously know about the animal Moose.
