Moose then feed off of the fir trees, which acts as their energy source that allows them to grow and develop. Then the moose act as the energy source for wolves when they are eaten. https://padlet.com/biojdw/w746xypc4wo7jrcg/wish/2329475782 2022-10-06 14:23:29 UTC https://padlet.com/biojdw/w746xypc4wo7jrcg/wish/2329475782
