*** About Elk: Elk are large animals of the deer family and are known for their impressive antlers that can be found on males. These majestic creatures are native to North America and eastern parts of Asia, but they have also been introduced to other regions such as New Zealand and Argentina. Elk are highly valued for their size, strength, and beauty. Their antlers are shed and regrown each year, making them symbols of regeneration and growth. Elk are also a keystone species, playing a crucial role in maintaining the ecological balance of the environments they inhabit. They feed on grasses, plants, leaves, and bark, which helps to shape the vegetation and landscapes of their habitats. Preservation efforts are critical to maintaining their populations and the natural areas where they thrive.
