[edit] Elk and moose

Why does everyone in Norway insist on referring to the elk as moose? The term 'moose' refers to the American elk (Alces alces americanus and Alces alces gigas), an animal which has never existed in Europe. The correct term for the species Alces Alces is 'elk'. This is also in keeping with the UK English used in the article (e.g. Archaeology (UK) instead of archeology (US)) Grumpy444grumpy 14:58, 12 January 2006 (UTC)
