Moose are called Elk in Eurasia.... One in the same Largest member of the deer family both places

They've been separated for so long, probably not identical any more. Apparently there are 9 subspecies between the old and new world. Interesting what a narrow band of latitude they populate across the globe.

More information about them being similar but distinct species.

pretty cool... did you read about my moose @ChickenCanoe ?

mine is biggest!

"Area: Alaska, western Yukon and northwestern British Columbia.
The Alaska or Yukon Moose is the biggest sub-species. Bulls can get 2.5m high at the shoulders (average 2m) and up to 3.1m long at a weight of 1000 kg. A full-grown bull with its tremendous antlers ( about 23kg, 2m wide) is the largest wild animal in North America.
This moose is black-brown with brighter back and pale brown legs. Face and nose of the cow are redish-brown, while the bull has a black nose.
The bell (throat beard) is longer than that of the European moose—it can get up to 96 cm!
It is estimated, that the moose came over the Behring bridge to Alaska 350 thousand years ago.
Population: Estimated 170,000-220,000"
