*** About Elks: Elks, or wapiti, are one of the largest species within the deer family, found primarily in North America and Eastern Asia. These majestic creatures are renowned for their impressive antler racks, which can grow up to 4 feet above their head, making them one of the most easily recognizable wildlife figures. Elks are highly adaptable and reside in various habitats including forests, meadows, and mountainous regions. They play a crucial role in the ecosystem, helping to maintain a balance by foraging on grasses and shrubs which in turn influences the density and distribution of plant species in their environment.
