***About Elk

***: Elk, known scientifically as Cervus canadensis, are among the largest species within the deer family, native to North America and eastern Asia. They thrive in forest and forest-edge habitats, feeding mainly on grasses, plants, leaves, and bark. Male elk are distinguished by their impressive antlers, which they shed each year. These animals play a crucial role in their ecosystems, affecting forest regeneration and prey dynamics. Known for their strong herd behavior and their role in Native American folklore, elk are not only a symbol of wilderness but also vital contributors to biodiversity.
