"Also known as the Olympic elk, the Roosevelt elk is one of the largest deer species in North America and the largest subspecies of American Elk. They are characterized by their dark and bulky necks and the bulls often have large, branching antlers. Roosevelt elk live inside forests on flat and steep terrain, but often venture out along the edges of the water where they feed on grass and woody plants. They are commonly found in large herds. Male elk often make loud and highly distinct sounds, known as bugling, that can be heard over very long distances. Adult males are typically 40% larger than their female counterparts and weigh on average 320.00 - 331.00 kg (705 - 730 lb)."

Trivia[]

  • The Roosevelt elk was one of the animals featured in the game at launch.
  • The Roosevelt elk was named after famed outdoorsman Theodore Roosevelt, who served as the 26th president of the United States of America between 1901 and 1909.
  • Before the arrival of European settlers to the Americas, the word "elk" referred only to Alces alces, which is known in North America as the moose. Conversely, in Europe, Cervus canadensis are typically referred to as moose.[1]
  • In the United States, elk are also called wapiti, which means "white rump" in saawanwaatoweewe and Cree.
  • The Roosevelt elk was the third animal to receive TruRACS compatibility.
  • Elk possess tusk-like teeth called ivories. These teeth are vestigial and no longer serve a purpose, but may have aided the elk's prehistoric ancestors in courtship much like the tusks of the extant Siberian musk deer. [2]
