Description
We saw these Elk at the National Bison Range in Montana. Elk are also called wapiti, a Native American word that means "light-colored deer." Elk are related to deer but are much larger than most of their relatives. A bull (male) elk's antlers may reach 4 feet (1.2 meters) above its head, so that the animal towers 9 feet (2.7 meters) tall.Bull elk lose their antlers each March, but they begin to grow them back in May in preparation for the late-summer breeding season. img162 5320c
