it's not? Quick google and Merriam-Webster says:

culpable adjective

cul·​pa·​ble | \ ˈkəl-pə-bəl \

Definition of culpable

1 meriting condemnation or blame especially as wrong or harmful

culpable negligence

The defendant is culpable for her actions.

2 archaic : GUILTY, CRIMINAL

Idon't see the difference between definitions 1 and 2, unless the meaning is archaic as a noun. But that's not what was asked for here.

It's salt water. The moose's range includes lots of coastal areas in Alaska, Canada, Russia, Scandinavia, and the Baltic states.

yes, Orca is pretty common.

And Killer whale is a bit derogatory, Orcas prey on penguins but but they deserve it.

The killer whale/orca one is almost certainly an urban legend. There are no recorded attacks of moose by orcas, only one or two anecdotal accounts.

And it makes sense given the fact that orcas are found in oceans and moose are found in forests. The aquatic plants they eat are found in marshes and freshwater lakes, not the ocean.
