so is it a case where a moose is an elk but an elk is not necessarily a moose? I wasn't aware that moose ever lived in the eastern hemisphere.
I came around a corner in a Nova Scotia highway one evening and nearly ran into one, a very bad idea as they can total a car, kill the driver and limp away. The average car will knock there legs out from under them and get a ton of ticked-off moose straight through the windshield.
