Cervalces scotti, also known as stag-moose, is an extinct species of large deer that lived in North America during the Late Pleistocene epoch.[1] It is the only known North American member of the genus Cervalces. Its closest living relative is the modern moose (Alces alces).
It had palmate antlers that were more complex than those of a moose and a muzzle more closely resembling that of a typical deer.[2]
