The photos that the Independent are using at North American elk - Cervus canadensis. However, the species that they are actually looking to introduce are Aces alces - Eurasian elk, which are what North Americans know as moose.
The Guardian did get this right a few days back.

Did they edit it since you made this comment? The photo on this post is definitely of a moose, not an elk

Ha, yes. They have now updated the photos. I imagine that there were quite a few people pointing this out to them.

Probably. Thumbnail shows an American elk for me but article shows moose.
