Main River, in western Newfoundland Island, is a 57 km (35.41 mi) long river originates in the Long Range Mountains, at an altitude of 675 m (2,215 ft) above sea level, and enters the sea at White Bay, near Sop’s Arm village. It was designated a Canadian Heritage River in February 2001. It is considered one of the last wild rivers on the island.

The moose (in North America) or elk (in Eurasia) (Alces alces) is a member of the New World deer subfamily and is the largest and heaviest extant species in the deer family.
