***About Elk:

*** Elks, or wapiti, are among the largest species in the deer family, noted for their impressive antlers borne by the males. These animals are native to North America and eastern Asia, but they thrive particularly well in forest habitats where their diet of grasses, plants, leaves, and bark is plentiful. The social structure of elk revolves around separate male and female herds, merging during the mating season which is characterized by the iconic bugling of the bull elk. This fascinating call serves as a means to assert dominance and attract females. Beyond their role in the ecosystem as prey for large predators, elks play a significant part in cultural histories and conservation stories across their range.
