Styling moose

Your handy moose/elk ready reckoner:


1. What the US (and Canada) call a moose:


 
... the Norwegians (and Swedes, Danes, half of Finland etc) call an elk.
 
 
2. What the US (and Canada) call an elk:


 
... God knows what the Scandinavians call that.

Incidentally, the Latin name for the so-called “moose” is alces alces—from which the animal will surely have derived its TRUE name, “Elk”. It's not called moosus moosus, is it? Thus the Scandinavians win.
