*** About American Elk: American Elk, or Cervus canadensis, are among the largest species within the deer family and are native to North America. Known for their impressive antlers, which can grow up to four feet above their head, these animals play a crucial role in their ecosystems. Every year, elk undergo a cycle of shedding and regrowing their antlers, a process driven by hormonal changes and linked to breeding seasons. Not only a captivating sight in the wild, elk also contribute to biodiversity by affecting plant growth patterns and participating in nutrient cycling through their grazing habits.
