Moose

The moose is the largest and heaviest extant animal in the deer family and a member of the New World deer subfamily. The majority of adult male moose have recognizable broad, palmate antlers, whereas the majority of deer family members have antlers with a dendritic pattern. Over time, the moose's range has shrunk due to hunting and other human activity. Some of its previous habitats have seen its reintroduction. At the moment, the countries with the highest concentrations of moose are Canada, Alaska, New England, New York State, Fennoscandia, the Baltic states, Poland, Kazakhstan, and Russia.

The moose, sometimes described as having a goofy appearance, is regarded as a sort of national animal of Canada. In spite of this, they must be listed among Canada's most deadly animals.

Like deer and elks, they frequently cause automobile collisions. Each year, there are 700 moose-vehicle accidents in Newfoundland and Labrador alone. However, moose can also be hazardous off-road. They weigh about 600 kg, and if they feel threatened or provoked, they will charge at a person.
