Description
"Elk populations north of Yellowstone National Park near Gardiner are stable based on a Jan. 2nd 2016 serial survey by Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks and park staff. More than 3,700 elk in 115 groups. That total compares to about the same number of elk as counted in 2015." The 2015 Yellowstone winter survey counted more than 1,130 elk inside the park and more than 3,700 in adjacent areas of Montana total of 4,844 elk. The elk, or wapiti (Cervus canadensis), is one of the largest species of deer in the world and one of the largest mammals in North America. They chase their prey, often over longer distances, sometimes even a few miles, in order to find the right animal or opportunity. Bull elk are one of the most photographed animals in Yellowstone area, because of their majestic antlers. The northern herd of elk winters in the area of the Lamar and Yellowstone river valleys from Soda Butte over to Gardiner, Montana. It also migrates outside of the park into the Gallatin National Forest and onto private lands.
