Moose
The tallest member of the deer family/Large Land Animals
The moose (Alces alces) is the largest living species in the deer family, and they look like something designed by a committee that couldn't agree on proportions. A bull moose's antlers can span nearly 2 meters and are shed and regrown every single year, making them the fastest-growing tissue of any mammal. They're strong swimmers and have been spotted crossing lakes and even diving for aquatic plants.
