Rocky Mountain Elk
Nez Perce Valley
One of the four surviving elk subspecies native to North America, the Rocky Mountain elk has the widest range of them all. In the past few decades, it has been reintroduced across the United States, Canada, and even brought to New Zealand. Elk have lighter yellow-brown to orange-brown coats in contrast to the dark brown hair on their heads. They are also called wapiti, a Native American word that means “light-colored deer.
