moose
Largest deer species
A moose is a large deer native to northern forests of North America, Europe, and Asia—the largest living member of the deer family.
Males grow massive palmate antlers shed annually.
The plural is also moose: We saw three moose crossing the road.
In British English, the same animal is called an elk.
