My error, no zoologist I.  In pictures they both look the same and as
witness the famous "moose test" are occasionally, even in Europe, called
moose.  Along those lines I've read that statistically automotive
encounters/accidents with moose are 70% fatal... near to 100% for moose.
I've also heard of at least one Coummunity College in moose country offering
a course in road kill butchery, i.e. you hit it you eat it.  Please note
that the legality of such varies substantially from state to state.
