*** About Elk: Elks, or wapiti, are one of the largest species within the deer family found in North America and eastern parts of Asia. Renowned for their large antlers, which can grow up to four feet above their head, these animals play a pivotal role in the cultural and natural history of various regions. Each year, elk shed and regrow their antlers, a process driven by hormonal changes and linked to the breeding season. Their habitat usually includes forest edges, meadows, and mountainous regions where they feed on grasses, plants, and leaves. Conservation efforts have been crucial in maintaining stable populations of elk, which had faced significant declines due to hunting and habitat loss.
