Its wasnt extreme miscommunication, but still noticeable. Moose in game is Alaskan Moose. It sign wasn't wrong back then showing Alces Alces Gigas. Probably when someone told them, to do moose they thought about american subspecies, because it was going to be included in NA pack. Recently they changed map and subspecies name after feedback, but we know from files it was always supposed to be alaskan version.
Can you show it?
You are right - all this time I was using it I thought it was a leopard and it’s a tiger
