Predominantly found in the rainforests of the Pacific Northwest, these elks are vital to their ecosystem, influencing forest composition and structure. Their diet consists mainly of grasses, sedges, and forbs, although in winter, they are more dependent on woody plants. The social structure of Roosevelt Elk is fascinating, especially during the rutting season when males display impressive behaviors to attract females and assert dominance.
