This moose is not drinking.

It is siphoning the lake, processing fish into their component elements, and ejecting the unneeded water via structures that you or I might call "antlers" but in moose are actually wastewater ejection ports that double as bearcrushers.

This is a critical part of the reproductive lifecycle of moose.

Moose themselves were engineered by lakes millions of years ago to meet a pressing need for reliable macrofauna to perform water-straining tasks.
