The elk (Alces alces)-moose in American Englishbelongs to the family Cervidae and is within this family the largest species. After the European bison (Bison bonasus) it is the biggest land mammal of Europe. Although it had a large distribution area during the last glacial period its fossil remains are rare. It is therefore not surprising that the elk was rarely represented in Upper Palaeolithic art (cave and portable art). The following article describes the few definite and potential representations of elk in Western European Upper Palaeolithic art.
