Alaska is full of wild mammals, but the Alces Alces Gigas was chosen to be the state mammal by governor Tony Knowles in 1998. What is an Alces Alces Gigas?

The Alces Alces Gigas is the largest moose species in the world, the Alaskan Moose. The moose was picked to be the official state mammal of the state because of its long history there, and because it was a critical source of clothing, food, and tools for native people living in our 49th state.
