Moose suffer in deep snow

Near-record amounts of snow this winter have made life more difficult than usual for Norway's large moose and deer population.
There's more than a meter of snow even in the forested areas surrounding Oslo, and that makes it especially difficult for the large animals to get around and find enough food.
Wildlife experts explain that the moose especially have relatively heavy bodies and thin legs. They sink down in the deep snow and have to use enormous amounts of energy to navigate through the drifts.
That makes them even more hungry, at a time when it's hard for them to find food. Several animals have been found dead recently, either of starvation or over-exertion.
