How do moose control temperature?

is this a serious questionHow do moose control temperature?
I am assuming that you mean thermoregulate. They have to worry about being too cold rather than too warm and they do this by having little tissue on their legs, which requires little blood supply. By keeping the majority of the blood away from the extremeties, they can preserve heat. Their sheer bulk also helps in that they loose heat slowly, along with a thick, coarse coat. The fermentation in their gut also produces heat which helps warm them. in the summer when it does get warm, they just avoid the sun by staying in the shade or standing in water.How do moose control temperature?

They have a big weather machine. I think they purposely caused global warming. :)
They don't, mother nature does.
