snip

I was already well aware that Europeans called what Americans call moose, "Eurasian Elk." I had read about it a while back. Just so you know, there is a tangible difference between saying "Eurasian Elk" and "elk."

Learning is fun!

Here are some fun facts for you to digest about what the tangible differences between an elk and a moose (or Eurasian Elk).

- In comparing these big-made deer species, moose ranks top among all the Cervids in terms of body size, while elk is the second.
- Moose has hanging dewlaps that elk does not.
- Moose’s’ palmate antlers are comparable to elk’s widely branched dendritic antlers.
- Skin colour is darker in moose than in elk.
- The legs are paler than the body colour in moose, whereas elks have darker legs compared to body colour.
- Additionally, moose has drooping lips, but elk does not.
- Elks prefer solitary lives while moose live in matriarchal herds.
- Moose’ rotatable ears are another interesting feature to differentiate from elk.

In the USA, were Bethesda is located, they are called moose, so that point is invalid.

Be that as it may, it's true no one refers to as moose a Eurasian elk in North America, it's still clearly a moose -- you would know this if you saw the video footage that people are actually talking about. If you did see it, then I'm afraid you're in denial. :shrug:

I wish I had seen the footage :whistling:
But I will take everyones word for it, would certainly be very cool to see these beautiful majestic creatures in Skyrim.

Somewhat offtopic, but has anyone here ever eaten Caribou? I did once and that stuff is frickin incredible :drool:

So you can moose while you vamoose?

Elk have very bizarre and irritating mating calls. Hopefully they leave that degree of realism out.

Yes I did and I'm fairly certain it's horns were shaped like a web formation or a fly trap plant. Not a mantle of spikes.

I believe both Elk and Moose were confirmed.. that's close enough for me.

Yep, you see a moose in the Skyrim Gameplay Trailer, he is hunting it in the "Fall Forest" area.

The moose will be the best in game animal ever.

And skyrim is finally going to have non aggressive animals.

I get tired of being the most hated enemy of nature sometimes.

Snip is used to reduce forum clutter. It's not a personal attack or anything.

To be honest, it's difficult to tell whether that's a moose or not. There is better footage of moose, close up even, but it's considered illegal and is not to be posted here!
