This majestic animal plays a crucial role in the ecosystems where it roams, grazing on grasses, plants, leaves, and bark, which helps shape the landscape. Males are renowned for their iconic antlers, which they shed and regrow each year, a symbol of their vitality and a tool used during the mating season to vie for the attention of females. The elk's bugle, a loud vocalization, echoes through the forests and valleys as a call during mating season, adding to the rich tapestry of sounds that define the wilderness. Elks' adaptability to various habitats has made them pivotal in wildlife management and conservation efforts across their range.
