There are millions of species on the earth, some of which have entered the alien land to become invasive species, and their numbers are out of control, and humans have to use special methods to clean up and kill. For example, the wild rabbits that flood Australia can reach 10 billion at most. Some animals are in danger of extinction due to changes in the living environment and other factors, and we must legislate to protect them.
For example, there are 38 species of mammals in China's list of grade II key protected animals, such as pangolins and golden cats. The sparrows that were once very familiar to everyone and even caught as children are now in this list, becoming a level II protected animal. But there is one, which you may not often hear of or even rarely see, it is a moose, which is a Class II protected animal in our country.

The moose is one of the largest deer in the world, the largest single weight recorded can reach 1 ton, adult body length can grow 2.6 meters, shoulder height between 1.6-2.4 meters, the average weight of 1400 pounds, is the largest member of the deer family. They prefer to inhabit forests, mainly coniferous forests or mixed coniferous and broad-leaved forests, and belong to the subarctic coniferous forest.
In terms of biological classification, it is divided into two species, Eurasian moose and North American moose, and these two species have evolved into 4 subspecies due to differences in living environment. North American moose include Wyoming moose, Alaskan moose, North American Western Moose, and North American Eastern Moose. Eurasian moose include: Ussuri river moose, Yakutia moose, Kamchatka moose and indicative subspecies.
In China, moose are mainly distributed in the large and small Xing'an Mountains area, because they are very hardy species, and prefer to inhabit the forest, and China's Xing'an Mountains natural environment is intact, which is suitable for their survival and development. But in fact, moose are very rarely distributed in China, so they have entered the list of second-level protected animals. In 2016, six moose deer were found in the Daxinganling Khanma National Nature Reserve in Inner Mongolia, and scientists believe they should be a big group of people traveling.
The discovery of the wild moose should be the first time in more than half a century, so the moose is a rare species in China, and the number is very rare.
< h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" > moose protected in China, why should they be hunted regularly abroad? </h1>
This should be a strange thing for many people, mainly because the number of moose in foreign countries is very large, which has affected the normal life of human beings. The moose is very adaptable to the environment, living in the primeval forest despite the cold, and its diet contains more than 70 kinds of foods, all of which are easily accessible. For example, grass, leaves and young branches of plants, while living on water can also eat aquatic grass.
Moose have a very exaggerated skill, they are very good at water activities, can dive to 5-6 meters deep water to feed, but also can cross the 20 km wide strait, can be described as a dashing ease. In such a suitable environment, the number of moose grows rapidly, and their activity has affected human life. First of all, although the moose are large, they run very fast, even in the snow half a meter deep, they can run normally, their endurance is still very strong, and they can run for several hours at a speed of 50 kilometers per hour.
Moose are regularly hunted abroad because they cause traffic accidents, and it can be said that it is not uncommon to hit a moose in North America. For example, on a highway in Alaska, the United States, moose are often hit, with an average of more than 1,000 heads per year. Due to the relatively large size and weight of moose, the damage to vehicle personnel in the event of a traffic accident will be very serious.
Imagine a creature of nearly 1 ton standing in the middle of a road, and our vehicle hits it at high speed, really either dead or injured. Moose weigh about 1500 pounds, are taller than the average human height, and under the huge body, the four slender calves do not look so strong. If you crash into it, you can imagine that the overall weight will hit the windshield.
For various reasons, the number of moose in foreign countries has a certain impact on human life, especially near highways, so they are hunted regularly every year, but the number is still very large.

This is true of any species, everything is relative, human beings in order to survive and reproduce better, will only start from their own interests, other species are scarce and face extinction, we will go to legislation to protect. But if the number of species is large and affects our daily lives, naturally there will be corresponding means to control their number.
Moose is the most typical example, in the country can be a dashing life, in foreign countries will face hunting, there is no way, the number of population members is too much.
