Irregular and sporadic moose sightings in Nevada date back to the 1950s, but about a decade ago, observations began to climb in the northeast corner of the state.
RENO, Nev. — More and more moose from Idaho and Utah are making their way into Nevada, where they're finding wilderness to their liking without the kind of help from humans most species get when they relocate.
State wildlife officials say it’s the first time a big game species has made a comeback in Nevada without a concentrated relocation effort. In the past three years, the department has collared seven cows and three bulls to better understand the largest member of the deer family. Two of them winter in Nevada and summer in Idaho, while the others are full-time residents of Nevada.
Standing almost 6 feet tall, moose are one of the largest land mammals in North America and can weigh up to 1,000 pounds . They are hooved herbivores — primarily eating leaves, bark and twigs from trees and shrubs.
