Details: Moose is the common name for the largest member of the deer family. Moose is an Algonquin word that means "eater of twigs," reflecting the animal's diet. Moose live in different wooded areas of Canada and the northern United States, as they prefer a climate that seldom exceeds 6 degrees Fahrenheit. Their distinctive snouts have nostrils that close automatically as they dip their heads underwater for food. A bull moose's antlers measure as much as six feet across!
