*** About Elk: Elks, or wapitis, are one of the largest species within the deer family, native to North America and eastern Asia. They are notable for their impressive antlers that males (bulls) use during the mating season to spar with rivals. This herbivorous mammal prefers forest and forest-edge habitats, feeding primarily on grasses, plants, leaves, and bark. Mating season, known as the rut, occurs in the fall and is marked by distinctive bugling calls used to attract mates and deter competitors. Elks play a significant role in their ecosystems, influencing plant and animal communities. Conservation efforts are crucial to maintaining their populations, given their impact on biodiversity and as a keystone species in their habitats.
