Although numbers have apparently stabilized over most of the region, they are still increasing in the western part of the Preserve where habitat for them is limited.
The moose is the largest animal in the Preserve, weighing more than most bears and all other species. Height at the shoulders range between 6 ½ -7 ...

MOOSES
An adult male may stand 1.4 to 2.35 m (4.6 to 7.7 ft) at the shoulder. The males bear enormous, broad, flattened antlers.
To reach low-growing plants or to drink from shallow pools, the moose must kneel.
The moose is the largest of the deer.
Elks are another name for moose.
Mooses are generally solitary, but during mating season bulls battle for cows, and their roars may be heard for great distances.
Once threatened with extinction, a ban on indiscriminate hunting has saved this endangered species.
The moose inhabits forests in Siberia, Sweden, Norway, and the Baltic region, and wooded areas of Canada and the northern United States.

Stag-moose
The stag-moose or elk (scientific name Cervalces scotti) is an extinct deer slightly larger than the modern moose. Its name, stag-moose, refers to the fact that it looks much like a cross between an elk and a moose. If you had been around to see one alive, you might have thought it looked like a stilt-legged moose with the face of an elk and very complex palmate antlers.
Palmate antlers are shaped like the palm of a hand, i.e. they have large flat areas and thinner projections. ...
