OK, I Think I Know What's Happened Here...


...see, over in Europe (Sweden, etc), moose are known as elk, and so it's an easy mistake to make.

Isn't it?

If you're an idiot.

    Rare to see even a soupçon of pedantry here, Julia.

    Wapiti, Elk, Moose (further qualified by habitat) create some confusion in nomenclature and classification. We cannot expect universal expertise from journalists.

    Shijuro will agree that a real idiot is someone who purports to be a zoologist and posts the image of a dolphin for a porpoise.

    And in the next photo, the moose swallows the rodent whole, before saying "I love marmot".

    Well you either love Marmot or you hate it. There is no middle way. ;-)
