The Elk, or Cervus canadensis, is a species native to North America and East Asia. This large deer species is quite adaptable and lives in various habitats, including forests, meadows, and savannas. Elk are herbivorous and play a crucial role in the ecosystem by controlling vegetation growth. Additionally, they are a food source for predators like wolves and bears. In many cultures, elk hold significant spiritual and cultural values. They are often featured in mythology and are considered symbols of strength and endurance. However, the Elk face threats primarily from habitat loss due to human activities and climate change. Hunting, while regulated, can also pose a threat if not properly managed.
