According to the article, check the factors that have contributed to the northward migration of moose :
Increased temperatures in the south have killed the plants that moose rely on to survive.
Moose in the south are dying from diseases and parasites.
Species that usually expand at the cost of moose have moved into the moose’s habitat.
Shrubs that moose eat have begun to grow farther north.

Moose have been steadily expanding northward over the past century, why?
Northward is hotter than Southward.
Moose are sensitive to warmer temperatures.
Moose are indeed sensitive to cold temperatures.
Ecologist who have been studying the moose migration, they really don't know.
“The concern is that the Arctic species are having to deal with a lot of competition from the better-adapted boreal species moving in and sharing that habitat” Moose have been migrating to northward. In this sense, moose have now become:
an invasive species.
