elk
Também conhecido como veado-vermelho, os alces estão entre os maiores membros da família dos cervídeos, com machos chifrudos atingindo até 240 kg. Encontrados em florestas temperadas e pastagens da Europa, Ásia e América do Norte, onde as populações foram historicamente separadas como subespécies distintas.

É uma espécie importante de caça e conservação em toda a sua área de ocorrência.
