TITLE
Two bull moose show how fierce and giant they are! This fight happened in an Anchorage, Alaska neighborhood.
Moose teeth are specially designed for their diet of plants and twigs. They have upper and lower molars. But they only have lower incisors. Incisors are the sharp teeth at the front of the mouth used for cutting food. Since they don’t have the upper front teeth, they can suck in aquatic plants when they graze underwater.
