Actually Elch (or moose) hide is probably somewhat thicker and stronger than what we in the US would call the hide of an “Elk.” So, what is the name used in Germany, and elsewhere in Europe, for a comparable animal to the North American elk? Frank
They don’t have a similar animal in Europe. The European Red Deer is somewhat similar but genetically a different genus altogether. There are a few sub-species in Asia but strangely enough I usually see them called Wapiti which is the Shawnee word for elk.
