isopeura

isopeura

Finnish

Noun

isopeura

1. A red deer, Cervus elaphus.

Usage notes

Isopeura is a new term suggested by a committee in 2007 to replace the established term saksanhirvi. The change is justified by the fact that Cervus elaphus is genetically closer to reindeer (peura) than to moose (hirvi).
