There are elk in North America - twice as large as a deer. Moose are even larger. The Finnish Elk may be larger than the American version(unsure). The language gets a bit confusing as in British English the word elk means moose. Whereas in American English it means the elk - or wapiti as the American Indians called them. Wapiti translates to white rump(butt). I've seen a herd or two wandering near my location in southern Oregon.
