Mammal whose babies can outrun humans at only three days old (5)

I believe the answer is:

moose

(Other definitions for moose that I've seen before include "Large northern deer" , "US deer with enormous antlers" , "Large US deer" , "Animal" , "North American deer" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
