Did You Know...

The Wapiti, or Elk, is the largest of Colorado's native deer, with a height of 7-9 feet and weighing 450-900 pounds. America refers to this animal as the elk while the rest of the world calls it the wapiti because outside of North America, the elk is the name for a moose. It has a brownish tan color with a yellowish rump and a dark mane. These animals are grazers, having an 80% diet of grass. In the autumn months, a wonderful indication of elk is the bugle call. The call is a high pitch silvery note, which glides down to end in some guttural grunts. Whatever we choose to call it, this is an impressive and important animal in Colorado.
