Elk move through timber at low light and the animal behind follows the pale patch of the one in front, which makes it a taillight rather than a marking. On a figure this size that patch is only worth including if its edge is kept sharp, and here it is.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTwo Names, One Animal\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWapiti is a Shawnee and Cree word, and North America ended up using two names because European settlers arrived already calling something else an elk.
