Animals with antlers (4)
I believe the answer is:
elks
'animals with antlers' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for elks that I've seen before include "Moose(s)" , "Large deer of Europe and N America" , "Large deer of Northern Europe" , "Large deer with flattened antlers" , "Moose" .)
