Elk (Living Wild)

Introduces readers to the lives of elk by exploring their forest and mountain habitats, physical characteristics, and remarkable adaptations for survival. The book explains how elk use their keen senses, powerful legs, and impressive antlers to find food, avoid predators, and compete for mates. Readers also learn about herd behavior, seasonal migrations, the annual growth and shedding of antlers, and the challenges elk face from habitat loss and climate change. Vivid wildlife photography, scientific research, and a traditional animal tale provide an engaging look at one of North America's largest members of the deer family.
