### In the lessons

In science and geography lessons moose live in forests and wetlands of Canada, Alaska and the northern USA, and also in northern Europe and Asia; they eat leaves, twigs and water plants and are good swimmers. In safety: moose can be dangerous — keep far away, and drivers watch for moose crossing roads. Phrases: moose antlers, bull moose, cow moose.
