(Zo["o]l.)
The American elk ({Cervus Canadensis}). It is closely related
to the European red deer, which it somewhat exceeds in size.

Note: By some writers it is thought to be a variety of the
red deer, but it is considered a distinct species by
others. It is noted for the large, branching antlers of
the male.
