*** About Elk: Elk, known scientifically as Cervus canadensis, are large mammals native to North America and eastern Asia. They inhabit forest and forest-edge habitat, feeding mainly on grasses, plants, leaves, and bark. Celebrated for their impressive antler racks, which can grow up to four feet above their head, these antlers are shed and regrown each year. Historically, elk have played an essential role in the ecosystems they inhabit and the cultures that coexist with them. From the Native Americans who revered the elk for its spiritual significance and depended on it for sustenance, to the wildlife enthusiasts who admire their grandeur today, elk continue to be a symbol of wilderness and conservation success in some regions, although they face habitat loss and other challenges in others.
