*** About Elk: The elk, known scientifically as Cervus canadensis, is one of the largest species within the deer family, found primarily in North American and East Asian forests. These majestic creatures are known for their impressive antler racks, which can grow beyond 10 feet in width. Male elks, also called bulls, use these antlers during the autumn mating season, known as the rut, to vie for the attention of females and to assert dominance. Apart from their striking physical attributes, elks are also admired for their ability to adapt to various ecosystems and their role as keystone species in forest environments. Conservation efforts continue to play a crucial role in maintaining stable populations of elks across their native ranges.:
