Distinguished from other members of the family by its palmate antlers, which is the largest extant deer?
Correct answer: Moose

Player #3622367, In Europe Moose are called Elk, the Wapiti is a different species that Americans call Elk. So for us, Moose = Elk.

TeepacAttack, in Canada we know wapiti as the same as elk. Infact interestingly enough Wapiti is french for elk and a red deer is very similar but have thicker antlers and are known as red stags. we don't have red stags here. moose are the largest of the deer family and are actually regarded as the deadliest animal in Canada.

in Newfoundland there are so many they're notorious for collision with cars: the cars are usually a wreck after...- drive carefully if you visit..

A moose ambled through the parking lot of a pizza place I was in, in Alaska! How cool was that?!

My son lives in Idaho, but is from Texas. He ran out of his father's house once to take something to a neighbor and was chased by a moose! Luckily, he was able to duck behind a large truck and escape.

I would not want to meet a moose out in the wild. They are not as gentle as they seem.

Player #4250921, I visited a friend in Alaska. We were at a mall and a stuffed moose was on display. It was huge. I am 5'7 and the leg of the moose was taller! I also saw a live moose but farther away.

ChewyGazelle68623, moose and elk are two different species

I enjoy reading the comments as much as the answers. Yes, moose are huge. It's hard to appreciate their size until you see them up close.

Moose are considered to be a part of the Orca diet too.. Go figure.

Cows can give birth to twins. When I lived in Wyoming, we had a cow that frequented my horse pasture. She gave birth to twins every year.

I am not sure Wapiti is French , as the French do not normally use the letter W .

Boy, this game loves the word "extant". Kind of like NPR in love with the word "genre".

In English English elk is the same as moose. In US English an elk is a different species, hence elk is both the same or a different species, depending on whether you speak English English or US English.
