That depends on how you look at it. An elks antlers have sharper points, but an elk isn't as likely to attack a human. A moose has fairly blunt antlers, but they are much larger and strong than elk. Comparing an elk to a moose is like comparing a bobcat to a mountain lion. They're both big enough to hurt you, but the one is a lot bigger and stronger.

an elk is more dangerous than a moose because the antlers are long and points, moose antlers are like shovels and flat.

MOOSE ARE LARGER THAN ELK IF THAT MAKES ANY DIFFERENCE TO YOU AND CAN BE MORE AGGRESSIVE IN BEHAIOR
WHEREAS AN ELK WILL GENERALLY TURN AND RUN A MOOSE WILL CHARGE

i might assume their a diverse toughnesses. in line with threat hers are smaller and softer. it would desire to rely on the place the antlers are from (ie. diverse forms of animals, season, shape/growth of the antlers). i haven't given my dogs antlers - i do no longer recognize the place to discover them, lol. yet i've got examine slightly on them, and don't have faith there are any wellbeing-destructive aspects. They final very long, such as you suggested, and could no longer splinter or no longer be digested exact be the dogs. additionally they incorporate minerals (like calcium), and don't require any preservatives.
