      Nice photo Toddy! This appears to be a perfect habitat for moose, and does the signage actually say "moose" at the zoo? Some European collections have different names for the species.

      All the zoos in Europe that I have seen having these animals call them "moose" on their english signage. But I know that some people get them confused with elks.

      Apparently, a moose is always a moose
      But in Europe, moose can also be called an elk
      While in America and elk is what the Europeans cáll a wapiti deer
      Or something like that :p

      yes, that's exactly right. Alces alces = moose in North America or Europe, but in Europe is also called elk
      Cervus elaphus canadensis in North America called elk, and in Europe called wapiti
