Swimming Moose
We've always found it surprising that an animal built like a moose can be such a good swimmer! But they are very good. We have seen moose swimming from Sleepers Island to the mainland near Smalls Cove in West Alton on several occasions. It's interesting to see just the head moving across the water, and then as soon as their hooves hit the bottom they walk toward shore and come up out of the water as the lake bottom slopes up to the shoreline.
