Why do moose have antlers?
Moose do regrow their antlers, but as they get older, they don't grow as big. Moose lose their antlers in the winter because they have to use extra energy to grow them. if they fall off, the energy that the moose uses in the summer to grow its antlers will be used to survive without much food.
When do moose shed their antlers?

Cow moose (females) do not have antlers in the first place. Also, some small animals feed on the antlers when they are shed because the antlers are high in calcium. Hope this helped! Paladin89
Why do moose have horns?
Moose don't have horns. They are antlered mammals, much like elk or deer. The difference between horns and antlers is that antlers will typically be grown and fall off annually, whereas horns will grow only once. There are several reasons that moose have antlers. First, when the antlers grow and develop in the warmer months of the year, the antlers are covered in a fine velvet that is soft to the touch. Underneath the velvet flows a system of arteries and veins that circulate blood throughout the antlers. this acts as a cooling mechanism for the moose, keeping it cool in the hot months of summer. When the weather begins to cool down in fall, the moose will shed their velvet, with much bleeding, in order to turn their antlers into weapons. using trees and other objects as sharpening devices, moose peel the velvet from their antlers and sharpen their antlers in order to use them as a defense against predators and as a tool for finding a mate.

How many grizzlies would it take to kill a moose?
One attacking grizzly bear is enough to kill a moose, but those large set of antlers are good at killing a bear. The moose would do whatever to fight off the grizzly bear with antlers, hooves, and muscles on the head to fight. But since grizzly bears are so large and have deadly claws, the moose would suffer fatal injuries on its head and the antlers as well. A powerful swipe of a grizzly bear's paw can break a moose's antler or even a bull. the grizzly bear's huge jaws with sharp enough teeth can kill a moose easily.
