I actually have a real hard time telling whether that's a photograph or a drawing. I think it's drawn, right?

I think it's a moose, judging by the antlers. Are any Canadians going to verify this?

Well actually my source was a bilingual french/english webpage on cervidae, where it was said than mooses and elks are actually the same animal (Alces alces), the same goes for White-tailed Deers and Cariacous (Odocoileus virginianus), Reindeers and Caribous (Rangifer tarandus), Common deers and red deers (Cervus elaphus).

I think there are some dialects which use "elk" for "moose", as I've often seen the two confused. However, the scientific name for a proper elk is Cervus elaphus, so it's the same as the Wapiti (= "white rump" in the Shawnee language). A moose is indeed, as you said, Alces alces. Moose don't have the pointed antlers.

I don't know if "elk" is a genuinely approved name for Alces alces, or if it's a similar confusion to American English "monkey" for "ape", but I suspect the latter.

Yours, Tim.

You might be right, the same kind of confusion exists between french and canadian french.

Frenchs call "chevreuil" the roe deer when quebecers call "chevreuil" the white-tailed deer.

Just a tip for your English: your word-order was slightly confusing, though I worked out what you must mean. "French people call the roe deer "chevreuil" while Quebecers call the white-tailed deer "chevreuil"". French people presumably don't call anything a "roe deer" unless they're speaking English!

Yours, Tim.
