On: Alexey Chervonenkis found dead

[huhtenberg]

> called "Вапити" in Russian

I'm a native speaker and I've never even heard this word before. I'd use "олень", but I'm no biologist. They all are either олень or лось to me :)

[mynegation → huhtenberg]

Well, wapiti _is_ a species of deer, but it is called that to distinguish it from European species of red deer (Cervus Elaphus - благородный олень) which is what Russians usually mean by "deer".
