Wikipedia description:
Alces is a genus of artiodactyl mammals, that includes the largest species of the deer family. There are two species in genus: the moose (Alces alces) and the fossil Alces gallicus (also known as the Gallic moose), that existed in the Pleistocene about 2 million years ago. Sometimes only one species is included in the genus, the modern moose (Alces alces), and the extinct Gallic moose is more often referred to the genus Cervalces, since the structure of their antlers looks similar.
