Poor thing is looking petty rough

I not 100% sure, but I think it’s due to ticks. Ticks will live out their lives on the moose, and the moose will do what it can to remove them, which results in them having patchy fur.

Yeah, and it can mean they don't survive the winter due to the lack of protection from their coat

It’s just shedding its winter coat. Horses look similarly shabby when the same thing happens to them.

as someone with zero moose knowledge, this makes sense to me
