Summer Observations on Moose Behavior in Ontario

Abstract

Various aspects of the biology of moose in Ontario were studied during the summers of 1952, 1953 and 1955. The present paper concerns itself with vocal and social behavior, reactions to disturbances, food habits, and the influence of weather on movements. Data on moose movements, sex and age ratios, antler development and shedding of winter hair have been presented elsewhere (de Vos, 1956).
