Rough Morning...

[reptile3]

Ever have one of those mornings/days were everything just doesn't go your way?

I didn't sleep well, got woken up 3X, at 6am, my hubby called. Car died. So take him to work, get home, get kids to school. After dropping them off, I had to go to the next town for Traffic Court. Find out, all I had to do is mail a payment in. Gesh that was easy!! Made my way back to hubby's work, picked car up, drove to nearest Auto Zone. Battery & alternator dying/dead. So I get a few min here to eat my lunch & say hi to you all!

Then back on the road to take hubby back to work. He will have one of his co workers bring him home from work, since he lives on the way here.

BTW, this morning, someone hit a deer on the highway, tore the front of his car bad, poor deer got hit in the head. BOY was there TRAFFIC. I am glad we left early.. or we would have been stuck in that.

Soooooo when I get back, pick up Gavin from Pre K, then I am going to take a nap... Daughter gets home around 3:30, she can babysit!!!

Almost hit an elk on sunday. That's the animal that's known as "moose" in North America. Moose - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Well, obviously, and Elk is a moose. Don't you know anything??

Don't bother...it isn't going to work... He is always right, no matter what everyone else in the world thinks...

Sorry for your morning, Stephanie. Some days seem unbearable...

But hey!! At least you get to spend extra time with the hubby and animals, right?

Well, it goes like this: Here in Europe we have this animal called elk in English. The scientific name of that animal is Alces alces.

Over there in North America, you have an animal called elk. The scientific name of that animal is Cervus canadensis.

Both are called elk, but they aren't the same species.

Now, what's really confusing to "some people", is the fact that there is also an animal called moose in North America. The scientific name of that animal happens to be Alces alces. Now where have we seen that scientific name before..

See, this is the part that's really, really confusing to some of our members: How on earth can one species have two different common names and how is it possible that two different species share the same common name? According to some people here, that's not possible, but it really is.

Here's a link to the part on naming and etymology:

Are moose and elk from the same family?


yes
I will add to the previous answer by adding they're both members of the deer family, in fact, the two largest members. Moose are larger.




They are both members of the family Cervidae, which includes deer, moose, elk and caribou.
