Is it possible for a female deer to have antlers?
According to this article, http://links.jstor.org/sici?sici=0022-2372(195411)35%3A4%3C486%3AAIFDWA%3E2.0.CO%3B2-4 some female deer do occasionally develop horns. The reason females don't have horns (usually) stems from the fact that males need them to fight with other bucks--usually over other mates, but perhaps over territory. This article explains all of the theories well, despite the really bad jokes: http://www.collegian.psu.edu/archive/2005/12/12-06-05tdc/12-06-05dscihealth-column-01.asp

Are moose and horses from same family?
In Europe the name elk refers to the same animal as the North American animal called a moose. Both of these are common names for the scientific name 'Alces alces'. In North America, however, the common names elk and moose are two different species. Moose, as explained above, are 'Alces alces', while elk are 'Cervus canadensis'. Another name for 'Cervus canadensis' is wapiti. Both 'Alces alces' and 'Cervus canadensis' belong to the 'cervidae' or deer family.
The branched horn of a deer is called an antler. They are extensions of the skull that usually grow in symmetrical pairs. Only males develop antlers whose functions are to attract females and fight other males.

No, moose will not eat you. They are herbivores, which means they only eat plants, like the rest of the deer family.
Yes. The moose is a symbol of Canada. It may not be on the Canadian Flag but it is still a symbol. Like the beaver, it is not on the Canadian Flag but it is still a symbol that you see on nickels.
I've read they can grow an inch (2.54 cm) per day. Makes sense when you consider they can be 4 feet (1.22 meters) in length and are shed every year. They're formed from bone.
They actually are very good at hiding when they want to. They can move through the bush so quiet that even hunters often just find the tracks after sitting on a watch for hours. When directly threatened they run, they do this very well too and can cover a lot of ground in just a short time. When push comes to shove and they can do nothing else they can fight with horns and hooves often killing with a direct blow to a predator unlucky enough be in the way. A moose's front hooves are pointed and very sharp, and they can rear up and strike out with those hooves ripping their opponent (be it a bear, wolf, human, or even a horse) to shreds.

Do ducks fly if its raining moose?
Well first of all ask yourself these questions: "Would it ever rain moose?" "If I were a duck and it started raining moose, would I fly away? Or would I risk my life staying right where I am, watching this awkward moment?" If for some whacky weird reason it did start to rain moose, I'm sure none of the ducks would even think about flying (at first) because they are to confused as to why a 600kg land mammal is falling from the sky. After a couple minutes, after a few hundred (or less) ducks die and the rest finally come out of shock, they'd start flapping those little wings and try to get the heck out of the way of the falling moose. So answering your question: "Do ducks fly if its raining moose?" yes, they probably would. It may take them awhile to realize that they have to fly, but they will start flapping and begin dodging up and over, under and around the moose to get to safety. (careful, they might try to get into your house)

What do you do if you encounter baby moose?
Just hope that Momma ain't close by, particularly if you stumble across the calf hiding in the bushes or reeds somewhere! If you find a calf in such a position, get out of the area NOW, because momma is NOT going to be happy about you coming across her calf. She knows where she hid it, and she'll easily and very quickly come back if she senses her baby's in danger.
Of course it all depends on how you encounter the calf and where.
No they do not.They are vegitarians.Their diet consists of mainly berries,shrubs,and other plants.
