Deep water moose?

[bushape]

Anyone ever heard of a mooses apparent ability to dive to depths of 25' or so? I cant verify this but a co-worker from the Yukon swears hes seen it.

They can definitely dive deep, but I am not sure if 25 feet is true...although that would not surprise me in the least.

I've seen them submerge themself but 25'!!!!.......................

Well, I've read that they can go down and stay down for several minutes at a time, and are known to feed on the vegetation at the bottom of lakes - so I'm not all that shocked to hear that they might make 25' down... Don't mean it's true mind ya, just means it sounds plausible to me.

On one trip up north there was a cow and calf came to the same spot on the lake near camp every night at the same time, the cow would dip her head underwater for an average of 4 to 5 min each time, the only reason I would doubt the 25' would be because of the bouyancy of the hair and fat, the lungs no problem!!

Thems what you call HIPPOs....actually saw footage years ago of a moose diving down and picking vegetation off the bottom...if memory serves me right that moose going down around 10 to 15 feet....
