élan (nm) –
French: elk, moose
It’s the only one I missed on the Sporcle French animal vocabulary quiz. Thank you Sporcle! Not sure why I’d know this one. Then again, not quite sure why I know the word for platypus is “un ornithorynque” either.
There’s also a note that a Canadian moose is “un orignal.”
No help from the Collins French Concise Dictionary – where neither ornithorynque nor orignal (nor platypus for that matter) is listed. Fortunately, my Robert Micro Poche is nearby.
Lover of cheese, international travel, and good deals.
