Known for their impressive antlers, which can grow up hundreds of inches in size, elk are a symbol of strength and agility in many cultures. These animals prefer forest and forest-edge habitats, feeding on grasses, plants, leaves, and bark. During the fall, elks' mating season takes center stage with the notable bugling of males, a sound that echoes through the autumn air and plays a crucial role in their competitive rituals to woo females. Conservation efforts are crucial in maintaining the balance of their habitats and ensuring that the future generations may also witness the beauty and grandeur of these magnificent creatures.
