*** About Elk: Native to North America, the elk is one of the largest species within the deer family and a significant figure in various indigenous cultures. Known for their majestic antlers, which can grow up to four feet, elks are typically found in forest habitats and are highly adaptable to various environments. During the fall, which is the mating season, male elks (bulls) are known for their distinctive bugling calls, a sound that echoes through the autumn air. These magnificent creatures play a crucial role in their ecosystems, influencing the growth and regeneration of plant life and serving as prey for predators, thereby maintaining the balance within their habitat.
