99. The Moose
The moose (or elk in Eurasia) is part of the deer subfamily known as New World deer. It’s also the heaviest and largest member. They can weigh up to 1400 pounds and have palmate or open-hand shaped antlers.
The moose is both majestic and dangerous. Since the 1990s, the moose population in North America has been declining. They can still be found living in the spruce, willow, and aspen forests of the northern US and Canada. The best place to spot them is the Denali National Park in Alaska.
