          Elk

          Elk are the second-largest deer family member and one of North America's largest mammals. Males have huge, branch-like antlers. They are primarily grazers, eat many plants, and are peaceful animals that live together. 

          They begin to grow antlers in the spring and shed them each winter. The Elk males compete with each other using their antlers during the mating season. They lower their heads and knock the antlers against other males to build strength and win females' attention.

          Elk are known for their impressive physical strength, often associated with their symbolism of strength and resilience. In addition, Elk are known for their fearless nature and willingness to take on challenges. As a result, they symbolize courage and confidence. Due to their regal appearance and tendency to lead and protect their herds, Elk represent leadership and nobility.
