The eastern moose (Alces alces americana) is a subspecies of moose. that ranges throughout most of Eastern Canada and most of the New England states and northern New York. Eastern moose inhabit boreal forests and mixed deciduous forests, which provide camouflage from predators which are timber wolves and poachers. The eastern moose is the third largest North American subspecies of moose, behind the western moose and the Alaskan moose. Male eastern moose along with all the other moose species are extremely aggressive during mating season and will attack anything that provokes it.

The eastern moose ranges from the Canadian provinces of New Brunswick, Newfoundland (not including Labrador), Nova Scotia, Quebec, and Eastern Ontario. In the United States, it inhabits Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and northern New York. Eastern moose that roam in Cape Breton Highlands National Park are descended from the western moose that originated from Alberta's Elk Island National Park. The population and range of the eastern moose increased in the decades leading up to the early 2000s as reforestation increased habitat area, but in more recent years diseases and parasites, including winter tick and brainworm, have cut into the population.
