ANIMAL FACTS - Moose,Bisons and Three-Toed Sloth

Who is this moose calling to ?

When a male moose is courting a female, he calls to her quietly and rhythmically, over and over again. The female also makes soft, rhythmic sounds and moves her jaws up and down. The male walks toward the female slowly, with his body stretched out, and sniffs her. Moose generally have only one mate. If the male sees a rival, he may make a loud call and then chase him away. The moose are the largest members of the deer family, and they live in North America. 

Bisons

In 1700 there were some 60 million Bisons in North America. Millions were killed for their meat and because their grazing land was needed for farming. Today the bison are making a slow comeback. There are now about 10,000 in the wild.

The three-toed sloth

The three-toed sloth, found in the tropical forests of South America, is the slowest mammal on Earth. It has an average ground speed of 2.2m per minute, but in the trees it can accelerate to 4.6 m per minute.
