Ciervo común
Conocido también como ciervo rojo, el alce es uno de los miembros más grandes de la familia de los cérvidos, con machos que pueden alcanzar hasta 240 kg. Se encuentra en bosques templados y praderas de Europa, Asia y América del Norte, donde las poblaciones históricamente separadas se consideraban distintas subespecies. Los machos pierden y regeneran su cornamenta anualmente, participando en dramáticas competiciones de bramidos durante el celo otoñal. Es una especie cinegética y de conservación importante en toda su área de distribución.
