Elk

An elk (Cervus canadensis), also known as a wapiti, is one of the largest species of deer in the world. It is native to North America and eastern Asia and is known for its majestic antlers and bugling calls. 🦌

Elk have a robust body with long, slender legs. Their coat is typically a reddish-brown color with a lighter-colored rump. They have a short tail and a long head with large ears. Males, called bulls, have a pair of large, branching antlers that can be up to four feet long.

Elk are found in a variety of habitats, including forests, mountains, and grasslands. They are herbivores, and their diet consists of a wide variety of plants, including grasses, leaves, and bark.

Elk are social animals that live in herds. The males are known for their loud bugling calls during the mating season, which they use to attract females and to challenge other males. Elk are also known for their long-distance migrations, traveling between their summer and winter feeding grounds.
