confusing German / English translations

Reh is translated doe or deer,
while deer can be Reh or Hirsch,
but Hirsch is never doe.

And who is really able to distinguish between moose and elk?

Confusing languages and zoology, really confusing…

    Moose have huge flat sections of their antlers. Also, while Elk are as large as horses, moose are more like small dinosaur size.
