What is a unique characteristic of a moose compared to other deer species?

Pal mate antlers
Smaller than all other deer
Presence of a bell or dewlap
Forked antlers

The correct answer is: Presence of a bell or dewlap

The presence of a bell or dewlap is a unique characteristic of moose compared to other deer species. This feature is a flap of skin that hangs from the throat and is particularly prominent in males. The dewlap serves several purposes, including aiding in temperature regulation and playing a role in mating displays. During the rut, males may use the dewlap to attract females and intimidate rivals. Moose are significantly larger than most other deer species, which makes their antler structure, including the palmate shape that resembles the shape of a hand, also significant but is not unique in the same way as the dewlap. Other deer species can have forked antlers, and while some may have different types of antler structures, the presence of a dewlap is specific to moose, making it a distinctive trait among the deer family.
