  The moose is the largest deer in the world and the largest mammal in the Ergun National Nature Reserve in Inner Mongolia. It can weigh more than 600 kilograms. It can be called a giant in the reserve and very precious.

  [Explanation] A few days ago, when researchers checked the far-infrared camera images retrieved from the field, they found a female moose with a pair of fawn lambs.

Researchers say that within 5 months, the mother moose and a pair of baby moose have appeared in the surveillance camera twice, and the nurturing process was truly recorded by the far-infrared camera.

Researchers said that January is the coldest season and the shortest food shortage of the year in the Greater Xing'an Mountains of Inner Mongolia. At present, a pair of moose can survive the winter safely.

  [Explanation] It is understood that the moose is a second-level national key protected wildlife in China.

Daxinganling Ergun National Nature Reserve in Inner Mongolia is located on the northwest slope of the Daxingan Mountains, facing Russia across the Ergun River.

The hills are undulating, the river network is dense, and the forest is dense. It is an ideal home for moose.

In the past ten years, the number of moose populations monitored by scientific researchers has continued to increase, and many images of moose have been left, laying the foundation for studying their feeding habits, reproduction laws and habitat.

  In our daily work, we mainly monitor the population changes of moose through feces, footprints and far-infrared cameras erected in the forest. With the implementation of the natural protection project, the ecological environment is getting better and better. At present, the Ergun Nature Reserve The number of moose is about 80, and the population changes are on the rise.
