Two cervid species, Cervus elaphus and Capreolus capreolus, were not separated in some cases during the analysis because of their very similar hair structure and consequently possible identification mistakes.
As to cab the vehicle, Chambers Dictionary of Etymology cites its first appearance as 1826 in the early Disraeli novel Vivien Grey as a short form of cabriolet, a horse-drawn carriage, itself borrowed by Smollett in 1763 from French cabriolet, from cabriolet, caper or leap (because of its bouncy motion), ultimately deriving from the Latin for wild goat, capreolus.
