This elk is distinguished by its darker coat and larger antlers, which can grow impressively large and are a symbol of status within their herds. Typically found in forested regions, Roosevelt Elks are vital to their ecosystem, influencing the structure and growth of local vegetation. Conservation efforts are crucial for maintaining their habitats and populations, especially in areas like Oregon, where urban expansion poses a threat to their natural environments.
