Eastern moose are the third largest subspecies of moose only behind the western moose and the Alaska moose. Males stand on average 1.7–2.0 m (5.6–6.6 ft) at the shoulder and weigh up to 634 kg (1,398 lb). Females stand on average 1.7 m (5.6 ft) at the shoulder and weigh on average 270–360 kg (600–790 lb).
There are two species in genus: the moose (Alces alces) and the fossil Alces gallicus (also known as the Gallic moose), that existed in the Pleistocene about 2 million years ago. Sometimes only one species is included in the genus, the modern moose ( Alces alces ), and the extinct Gallic moose is more often referred to the genus Cervalces ...
Articles relating to the moose, (Alces alces), a member of the Capreolinae and the largest and heaviest extant species in the Cervidae.Most adult male moose have distinctive broad, palmate ("open-hand shaped") antlers; most other members of the deer family have antlers with a dendritic ("twig-like") configuration.
Alces gallicus, also known as the Gallic moose, [3] is an extinct species of moose, which has been found in Europe.It is believed to have lived in Pleistocene about 2 MYA. . This species was smaller than recent moose, but it had longer antlers than it's modern relati
Cervids range in size from the 60 cm (24 in) long and 32 cm (13 in) tall pudú to the 3.4 m (11.2 ft) long and 3.4 m (11.2 ft) tall moose. Most species do not have population estimates, though the roe deer has a population size of approximately 15 million, while several are considered endangered or critically endangered with populations as low ...
After gastropod ingestion, moose or other deer may be hosts of the second- and third-stage worms. Moose resistance to P. tenuis is much lower than white-tailed deer, which results in a higher mortality rate. [9] Infected deer density, temperature, climate conditions, and length of transmission periods all affect transmission levels.

It was originally described by Finnish mycologist Ilkka Kytövuori in 1999, as one of six species in the "Stropharia semiglobata" group in northwestern Europe.. In 2013, the fungus was transferred by Redhead et al. to Protostropharia, [1] a genus circumscribed to contain Stropharia species characterized by the formation of astrocystidia rather than acanthocytes on their mycelium.
