ELK

The elk or moose, is a large deer (Alces alces) found in north Europe, Asia and Scandinavia. They are distinguished by a swollen, flexible snout, wide palmated antlers, extending horizontally sideways and long legs. They feed mostly on foliage, twigs, mosses and lichens, and in summer wade into rivers for water-lilies and other plants.
