*** About Elk: The elk is one of the largest species within the deer family, found in North America and parts of Eastern Asia. Known for their massive antlers, which can reach up to four feet above their head, elks play a crucial role in their ecosystems. The antlers, shed annually, are often sought after by various other wildlife for calcium. During the fall, elks engage in the rut, a mating ritual filled with bugling contests to win over females and intimidate other males. Conservation efforts are vital for maintaining their habitats and populations, as they influence forest regeneration and biodiversity.
