As the glaciers retreated, moose (which had crossed the Bering land bridge from Asia) [17] may have populated the habitat of Cervalces scotti and caused its extinction by outcompetition. [1] Although there is no paleontological evidence that it was associated with humans, [ 18 ] other theories for its extinction have been proposed.
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 ...
The moose calf crop has been declining since the fires of 1988. During that summer there was also high predation of moose by grizzly bears in small patches of surviving timber.

Cervalces scotti, the stag-moose, lived in Pleistocene North America. [1] Cervalces latifrons , the broad-fronted moose, [ 2 ] and Cervalces carnutorum were found in Pleistocene Europe and Asia. The genus has been suggested to be paraphyletic and ancestral with respect to Alces , the genus which contains the modern moose , and as such, some ...
