Moose

The moose, scientifically known as Alces alces, is the largest member of the deer family, Cervidae. Characterized by its towering size, broad palmate antlers (worn by males), and distinctive, drooping nose, moose are native to the Northern Hemisphere. These herbivores are adapted to thrive in various habitats, from boreal forests to subarctic tundras, where they play a crucial role in shaping ecosystems through their feeding habits.
