FarmVille Elk vs. Reindeer Comparison

Many of you were disappointed to see that the new Elk poses a striking resemblance to the Holiday or Christmas themed Reindeer.
The Elk is part of the Yellowstone themed set of limited edition items and is currently available in the FarmVille Market. The Reindeer is a retired FarmVille animal that can no longer be purchased.
Here is a comparison pic of the Reindeer (left) and Elk (right) side by side on FarmVille Freak Spela’s farm!

…How different can you make the Reindeer and Elk, anyway?

I don’t know what you guys expected. Farmville images aren’t super detailed and realistic, and never have been, so a cartoony elk and a cartoony reindeer will be very similar. I’m actually happy to see the details in the antlers and sizes different- more than I expected when I first saw these guys.

The Elk was the same size as the Reindeer when it got released, later on they’ve changed the size. At least the size wasn’t this demarcating at the beginning!!! Thanks to Zynga, nonetheless! As I’ve said somewhere here, I was disappointed when I purchased the Elk, it looked the same size as the reindeer with just color difference, now the size difference is very much evident. I didn’t take pictures, I wish I had. Anyone else noticed this?

Amber, I did notice that they were exactly the same when the elk first came out….the birch tree is another one….they used the bare birch and put leaves on it, the lodge and the elk….if they are going to do these repeats they should do one at a time so it isn’t so noticeable….but I would still notice. ; 0

Thinking ahead, hoped that they were the same size, some variety pulling my sleigh next xmas.

OMG i want your PP calf

Elk and Reindeer are the exact same animal, in real life. The ONLY distinction is that reindeer are domesticated, and elk are not, so yeah, they SHOULD look the same.
