*** About Elks

***: Elks, or wapiti, are one of the largest species within the deer family, Cervidae, found in North America and parts of East Asia. Known for their impressive antlers that can grow up to four feet above their head, male elks (bulls) use these during the mating season to spar with rivals. These creatures are highly adaptable, inhabiting forest and forest-edge habitats, and their diets vary depending on the season, consisting mainly of grasses, plants, leaves, and bark. The elk's role in Native American culture is significant, often symbolizing strength, agility, and freedom. Conservation efforts over the years have helped stabilize their populations, making the elk a resilient symbol of the wilderness.
