Here in Idaho, we have lots and lots of wapiti roaming the countryside, but I'd bet that fewer than 1 in a hundred people you ask would know them as that. As far as most people within the animals home range, they are elk, plain and simple.
Good pic, ...talking about the animals names question: Ñandu it´s the correct name in Spanish too, with the only change of "n" by "ñ" or "ny" if you can't see "ñ"
I've seen male rheas harass maras, capybaras, llamas, and keepers, too. They just seem to be more aggressive in general, and the hens are normally calmer and friendlier.
