What are predators of moose?

Answer 1

Main predators of moose are grizzly bears, wolves, humans, and black bears.

Grizzly bears-Grizzly bears often hunt both bull and cow moose in many cases. They do sometimes kill and feed on adult moose, but researches have shown that adult moose are also quite dangerous and strong even for a fully-grown big male brown bear to prey on.

Wolves- Wolves do prey on adult moose occasionally when the moose is not very active or on the rut. A pack of wolves could kill an adult moose if they are lucky and smart and experienced, but some of the members could be very injured in most cases. Adult moose would usually pause the wolf pack and think more than twice. Young moose are more of a prey to a pack of wolves, but that is only when their is no cow moose to defend it.

Humans- Humans have killed many moose for the past centuries in Northern America. Today, many moose can be near endangering if poaching or illegal hunting has not been stopped. We need to save moose population as well.

Black bears- Black bears will actually attack anything that hinders them or comes to their territories, but usually not when they see a very big animal like an adult moose. Since a fully-grown adult moose can defend itself from a grizzly bear, then a black bear would definitely not try to hunt down the moose in most cases. Black bears do prey on the young ones that wander off away from the cow moose.

Answer 2

Predators of moose include wolves, bears, and occasionally cougars. These predators typically target young or weak moose, as adult moose are large and formidable prey.
