What’s the difference between a moose and an elk? « Nature Travels: Outdoor Holidays in Sweden

The last link's probably the best, and the second link's meant as a joke a joke, really, but see below...
Last link also, I hope, explains my confusion, although it doesn't really link back to the red deer...
Many guys from here (Germany) go on holiday in Sweden and come back with an Elk sticker on their car, which looks just like the silhouette in the T Shirt.
Was up there a few years ago. Wonderful country. Lovely people. They cull (for meat) about 1/3rd of the Elk population every year. Same in other northern countries, also cull a lot of reindeer for meat as well.
