Moose Rescue Operation, Tallinn, Estonia

The moose (North America) or European elk (Europe) (Alces alces) is the largest extant species in the deer family. Moose are distinguished by the palmate antlers of the males; other members of the family have antlers with a "twig-like" configuration. Moose typically inhabit boreal and mixed deciduous forests of the Northern Hemisphere in temperate to subarctic climates.
The animal bearing the scientific name Alces alces is known in Britain as the Eurasian Elk, and in North America and New Zealand as the moose.
