Native to North America and Eastern Asia, elk are herbivorous and primarily live in forested areas where they graze on grasses, plants, leaves, and bark. Males (bulls) are famous for their ritualistic behaviors during the mating season, including bugling, a loud series of vocalizations that echo through the air. Elk are social animals, often forming large herds that are matriarchal in structure. The species plays a crucial role in its ecosystem, influencing the growth and regeneration of plant species and providing prey for a variety of predators.
