Description
The Roosevelt elk, named after President Theodore Roosevelt, lives in the Olympic and Coast Ranges of the western United States; a few can be found in California. Olympic National Park in Washington State contains the most Roosevelt elk living anywhere and is the state mammal of the state of Washington. It is estimated that approximately 5,000 Roosevelt elk live in the Park. Roosevelt elk have been established in the State of Alaska as well. Roosevelt elk are very large; in fact, they are the largest of the elk found in the United States: a full grown male can weigh as much as 1,000 pounds and a mature female up to 600 pounds. Unlike the Tule elk and American elk, the Roosevelt elk does not migrate, as food supplies are more readily available in its habitat.
