Yes, most definitely if the opportunity is presented.

Elk, (Cervus canadiensis) also known as wapiti, are native to North America and possibly parts of Siberia. In Asia, the tiger's current range does not overlap so they would not be a natural predator.

The Moose (Alces alces) is called 'Elk' in Europe. There is some overlap in its range with the current range of the tiger. It would not be inconceivable that properly motivated tiger would attack an adult moose but it would seem unlikely that a tiger would give up its advantage since their defense strategy is to retreat to water and they are very capable of defending themselves. A tiger would almost certainly attack a moose calf if the opportunity was presented.

The Red Deer (Cervus elaphus), also known by a host of names including 'Wapiti' and the 'Bactrian Red Deer'. has a range that extends through Central Asia and overlaps some of the tiger's range. Recently, it was determined that it and the North American Wapiti, once thought to be members of the same species, are in reality separate species.

Geist (1998) recommended that C. elaphus and C. canadensis be regarded as distinct species. This is supported by patterns of mtDNA variation as reported by Randi et al.

You may still find people (including myself, prior to researching this) who call this animal the 'Red Elk'.

No. Tigers and moose live in two entirely different continents, and would never EVER meet.

However, if they DID meet, only a really angry bull moose would be able to kill a tiger, or maim it seriously enough that it would die of its injuries. But in normal circumstances of predator hunting prey, a tiger would easily bring down a moose by leaping onto its back and breaking the moose's neck with its powerful jaws, just like it would with the deer it hunts in its normal environment.

Tigers and Moose are rarely ever in the same habitat so I doubt it.
