Moose are Amazing Swimmers

Have you ever seen a moose in the wild? What about one that’s swimming? It might surprise you, but Moose are exceptional swimmers. A few days after birth, they are able to go on long swims with their mother. When the food on the ground isn’t what they are craving, they also can dive more than 5 meters underwater for food on a lake bottom.

I’ve never seen a moose but i think it would be cool to see one swimming. Has anyone else seen one?
