The world's tallest, largest and heaviest deer, it is dark brown, with long legs, a humped shoulder, a drooping bulbous muzzle, a throat flap and, in most males, broad, palmate antlers. It lives in boreal forests and wetlands across northern North America and Eurasia, where it is called elk, feeding on willow, aquatic plants and other browse. Scan ponds and lake shores at dawn and dusk, and keep a wide distance in autumn when bulls are in rut.
