Moose education board has wrong information and missing temperate biome

[Aramar]

The moose is Alces alces, the general species ranging from North America to Asia and Europe. However, in the education board, it says Alces alces gigas and only North America is marked on the map. The word "gigas" should be removed and Europe and Asia should be marked on the map.

In addition, moose biomes should include temperate, since their range includes countries like Estonia or Latvia, which have a temperate biome according to the map in Planet Zoo. Actually, the education board shows the temperate biome icon, but the animal doesn't have it.

If it only shows up as Alces alces in the Zoopedia and it's only named Moose, it should definitely be changed to be the same on the Education Board

There are several other animals in the recent packs with similar issues. I hope they all get fixed soon.

Alternatively if it is specifically the Alaska moose, which is Alces alces gigas, then it should be re-named to Alaska moose.

I wondered about the Moose not having the temperate biome. I would think that should be added in.

In general, I would prefer if signage maps could depict the Zoopedia maps with the precise range for each animal, instead of just colouring the whole continent... Not only it would prevent these errors, it's also the way it would look the signage of a real life zoo.

Exactly. Since when do Gharials life in Russia?

Yes I want them to correct this. Growing up in Vermont specifically in a temperate part of the state I have seen many moose.

I'm sure this was just an oversight, because temperate broadleaf and boreal forests (taiga) are the two major biomes moose are found in. Even the first few sentences in the lede of the moose article on Wikipedia includes temperate broadleaf forests as one of their two major biomes:

My guess is, after changing the asset to represent all populations of moose (instead of one subspecies), they forgot to edit the biome tags.
