*** About Elk: Elk, or wapiti, are one of the largest species within the deer family, found in North America and parts of East Asia. Known for their impressive antlers that can reach over four feet, these animals are significant to wildlife in Canada and play a crucial role in its biodiversity. During mating season, known as the rut, male elk are known for their distinctive bugling calls, used to attract mates and challenge rival males. Typically found in forest and forest-edge habitats, elks feed on grasses, plants, leaves, and bark. Conservation efforts continue to manage and protect their populations, ensuring that these majestic creatures continue to roam Canada's vast landscapes.
