The elk, also called moose in Canada, is the emblematic animal of Sweden and is known for its impressive antlers.
The moose is Sweden's national animal and is known for its impressive antlers, which are only grown by males. Antlers begin to grow when a male moose is two years old and can weigh up to 20 kilograms. The animal sheds them every year before new antlers replace them.
Fun fact: A male moose's goatee can grow up to 10 inches long.
