Mooses, of course, are funny. But elk aren't, so there's no problem. The fact that they're exactly the same animal is neither here nor there.

Not like what kind of deer, exactly? They're in the deer family, last time I checked. Maybe I've lost the thread of this thread, but doesn't it blithely state in G:G that there are Elk hsunchen in Pralorela? (And elsewhere that there are Damali in there, presumably _not_ the same group.)
