My aunt Kim and uncle Todd might both be related but one would be pretty upset if you called them by the others name

When Americans say 'deer,' they generally mean white-tail or more rarely mule deer; when Europeans say 'deer,' they generally mean red deer. White-tail/mule deer are more closely related to moose than red deer, and elk are more closely related to red deer than white-tail/mule deer.

American from California here, when we say "Deer" we mean "Mule Deer" as the deer everyone interacts with in this state is mule deer.
