Famous animals in alaska
Puffins- Hey! Do you want to meet a friendly bird? Yes, no, maybe so. Well there is a friendly bird in Alaska, it is called a puffin. Want to learn about them? Okay come along! They are kind of awkward flyers I am telling you now so do not judge them later. You may laugh though, it is pretty much impossible not to. They are really interesting birds. They really don’t have many predators due to their nests and homes on really high cliffs or in holes that are like three feet into rock! Their more common predators are seagulls, eagles, hawks and even foxes. Most people believe puffins are about as dumb as a rock. Nope! They have proved them wrong, scientists believe that puffins are more intelligent then they thought! Animals have proved people wrong on many occasions!
Moose- Moose are one of the most famous animals in Alaska. Moose don’t have many threats, one of the only animals that is brave enough to attack a moose is the brown or grizzly bear. Many moose feed on a variety of grasses, pond vegetation, equisetum ( horsetail plant ) and sedges. They will not eat meat, but can kill you or smaller animals that get in its way. Like goats, when moose are hungry but don’t want to go find food they chew their food again. It is called cud, it is kind of like regurgitating, but they chew it themselves then they swallow it again. That is a little bit about moose for you. And please, please for their sake don’t call them meese, mice, mase or anything else like that!
