    Looked it up real quick, because that didn't sound right. According to wikipedia, at least, British English uses the same word for two different creatures.

    They are visually distinct:
    Spoiler: Elk(Cervus canadensis)
    Show


    Spoiler: Moose(Alces alces)
    Show


    Also, reindeer/caribou and red deer just cuz I wanna post more ungulate pictures:

    Spoiler: Reindeer/Caribou(Rangifer tarandus)
    Show


    Spoiler: Red Deer(Cervus elaphus)
    Show
