*** About Elk: Elk, one of the largest species within the deer family, are powerful animals renowned for their large, branching antlers, which can be observed in the male depicted here. These animals are native to North America and parts of East Asia, but they have also adapted to a variety of habitats across the globe. During the autumn season, elks are often engaged in mating rituals, which could explain the protective stance of the elk towards its calf in this artwork. Fascinating for their social behavior, elks usually live in large herds, and their migrations and life cycle play a critical role in their ecosystem, influencing the growth and renewal of vegetation.
