The moose is a Canadian creature of extremes. The largest member of the deer family, the moose (Alces alces) can weigh up to 800 kilograms, have antlers spanning 180 centimetres and be taller at the shoulder than the largest saddle horse. It can also dive more than five metres for food, run faster than 50 kilometres per hour.
