The biggest type of deer is the moose (Alces alces). Moose are unique and easily recognizable due to their large size, long legs, and distinctive broad, palmate antlers, which can span up to six feet in width. Adult moose can weigh between 800 to 1,600 pounds and stand as tall as 6.5 feet at the shoulder. They are typically found in northern regions of North America, Europe, and Asia, where they inhabit forests near lakes and rivers. Moose are herbivorous, primarily feeding on leaves, bark, and aquatic vegetation.
