Moose is the common name for this largest member of the Deer family. Moose is an Algonquin word that means "eater of twigs," which reflects the animal"s diet. Moose live in different sorts of wooded areas of Canada and the northern United States, as they prefer a climate that seldom exceeds 60 degrees Fahrenheit.
