ヘラジカ

noun

moose; elk

Refers to the large deer species Alces alces. In British English, 'elk' is the same animal; in North American English, 'elk' usually refers to Cervus canadensis (wapiti), so 'moose' is the safer translation.

• ヘラジカは北きたアメリカや北ほく欧おうの森しん林りんに生せい息そくしている。

  Moose inhabit the forests of North America and Northern Europe.

• あの大おおきなヘラジカの角つのは本ほん当とうに立りっ派ぱだね。

  Those big moose antlers are really impressive, aren't they?
