The paper is based on the research carried out in 1976–2015. The data were collected from visual records of animals in different areas of the steppe zone: on permanent plots, during expeditions and with observers in helicopter and plane. It allowed wider coverage with analysis of moose habitat distribution (n = 651), the structure of herds (n = 346) and dynamics. Twenty-two females were dissected to assess their reproductive state, and 36 broods were analyzed to assess fertility. Observations of mortality (n = 111) were conducted with clarifying the causes. The materials of the State Statistics Committee of Ukraine were used to analyze the number dynamics.
