Moose Rescue Operation, Tallinn, Estonia

The British English word elk has cognates in other Indo-European languages, for example älg in Swedish, Elch in German and łoś in Polish. Confusingly, the word elk is used in North America to refer to a different animal, Cervus canadensis, also known as the wapiti. Except for its much larger size (it is the second largest deer species in the world), C. canadensis is almost identical to the smaller red deer of Central and Western Europe. Presumably early European explorers in North America called it elk because of its size.
