Alces is a genus of artiodactyl mammals, that includes the largest species of the deer family. [1] 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.
[3] [4] [5] This includes merging the two moose species of Alces into one, splitting out the monotypic Panolia genus from Rucervus, combining the monotypic subfamily Hydropotinae with Capreolinae. There are several additional proposals which are disputed, such as addition of the fair brocket to the Mazama genus, which are not included here.
