Contender 1: Moose
The Moose, also known as the Alces alces, is the largest member of the deer family. They are known for their massive size, with males weighing up to 1500 pounds and standing over 6 feet tall at the shoulder. Moose have long, slender legs and a humped back, with a distinctive flap of skin called a bell hanging from their throat. They are typically brown in color, with a darker mane and legs, and their antlers can span up to 6 feet across.
Fun Fact: Moose are excellent swimmers and can swim up to 6 miles per hour, using their powerful legs and large hooves to paddle through the water.
Contender 2: Lion
The lion, often referred to as the 'king of the jungle,' is a large, powerfully built cat known for its tawny coat and, in males, a magnificent mane. They are native to Africa and a small region in western India. Adult male lions can weigh up to 420 pounds, while females, who are primarily responsible for hunting, are slightly smaller. Lions are social animals and live in groups called prides, which are usually composed of related females, their cubs, and a small number of adult males.
