*** About Roosevelt Elk

***: Native to North America, the Roosevelt Elk is the largest of the four subspecies of elk found on the continent. Named after President Theodore Roosevelt, this species is particularly renowned for its grand antlers, which can span up to four feet across. Primarily found in the rainforests of the Pacific Northwest, these elks play a crucial role in their ecosystem, influencing plant growth and sediment levels in bodies of water through their grazing habits. Conservation efforts, sparked by the historical overhunting that nearly drove them to extinction, have helped stabilize their populations today, making them a symbol of successful wildlife management and natural heritage.
