facts about elk:

Elk are one of the largest species of deer. Adult males, known as bulls, can weigh between 600 to 1,100 pounds (270 to 500 kilograms) and stand about 4.5 to 5 feet (1.4 to 1.5 meters) tall at the shoulder.

There are several subspecies of elk found in different regions of the world, including the North American elk (also known as wapiti) and the European elk (known as moose in North America).

Male elk have impressive antlers that can grow up to 4 feet (1.2 meters) long. Antlers are shed and regrown each year. They are primarily used for display and during the mating season, or rut, to establish dominance and attract females.
