The term 'Moose Cousins' is a reference to the two species of large deer-like animals, the Moose and the Elk. The Elk, also known as the Wapiti, is a species of large deer native to North America and eastern Asia. Both the Moose and the Elk are members of the Cervidae family, which includes other species such as the Red Deer, Reindeer, and Fallow Deer. The Elk is the second largest species in the Cervidae family, after the Moose.
