The Big Elk, also known as Storelgen, is the world's largest (tallest and heaviest) sculpture of a moose (Alces alces). It is near the village of Atna in Stor-Elvdal, Hedmark, Norway. The sculpture [ edit ] Moose are often called elk in Europe and elg is the Norwegian word for moose.
Rådyr used to be only in parts of eastern Norway, but they have spread to most of the country. So in a nutshell… Norwegian Elg are called Moose in North America and European Elk in Europe BUT when Europeans talk about them in English they call them Moose. Elk in North American are called Wapati. Double uffda.
Unless, of course, if you are Canadian....
