And now for something slightly bigger. Two elk (not moose ), Alces alces. There was a third standing a couple of meters behind them, but you can't see it.

[Thamnophis]

Isn't an elk the same animal as a moose?

[Stefan-A]

Yes and no (mostly yes). The same species, elk (Alces alces), is called moose in North America. There, the word elk refers to the wapiti (Cervus canadensis).
