History
Moose are the largest species of deer and the second-largest mammal in North America after Bison. Their genus (Alces) first appeared in the fossil record in Europe about 2 million years ago. Modern moose first appear as fossils around 100,000 years ago, with evidence that North American moose made the crossing from Europe between 50,000 and 10,000 years ago. Coincidentally, it may have replaced a larger version of Moose, the Stag Moose, that went extinct in North America toward the end of the most recent ice age around 11,000 years ago. Today, Moose populations are trending upward in both Europe and North America, with healthy herds on both continents.
